promblems with atomicfe and using it as a shell????
« on: March 24, 2006, 11:37:41 pm »
im still having troubles i can not for the life of me get it to work....
here what i do
well first this is where my atomic is found at
c:\atomicfe


then i open up new text document in that document i write the following  exactly

c:
cd \
cd atomicfe
atomic.exe
save it so it says atomic.BAT


then i keep it in the same folder as atomicfe
and then put it in the windows folder


then open regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \Winlogon

Add or Edit the Key : Shell

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \Winlogon

Add or Edit the Key : Shell

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \Winlogon
And put Shell = Atomic.BAT
like this

save it exit restart and no luck, when it boots it does nothing just goes back into windows like nothing happend,am i doing som thing wrong?

...Think you have to spell out the full path if you are not using explorer

eg   c:\windows\Atomic.BAT

also I think it is fussy about capital letters so make sure the file name matches exactly
