Hi,

in my mame cab I changed the shell from windows to Mamewah so that now you don't see windows explorer at all. I then set up in the mamewah ini to launch windows explorer when mamewah exits. When i exit mamewah it goes back to the windows desktop but I can't use windows explorer at all so can't change anything or access any of my foldes ect etc. The keyboard doesn't work either. How can I fix this!!

Thanks in advance

This happened to me as well.  So I logged in as Admin and deleted the profile I had done that to.  I then made a new profile and then just put MAMEWAH in the startup folder.

So when XP starts MAMEWah boots right up.  But I can exit and use all my other windows apps.

while in mamewah

Hit:
cntl-alt-delete

Then select task list

from that window should be a pull down window

File-  New task

Type: explorer

All good  :-)
