I am writing this program called FastRUN. A basic windows shell replaces
EXPLORER.EXE in SYSTEM.INI. This program checks a configuration file created
by a dos counterpart I wrote in DJGPP (this is why I posted the question
here.) Anyway, the windows counterpart will run the program in the
configuration file. If nothing is there it just runs EXPLORER.EXE as normal.
However, because a program is already running, EXPLORER.EXE assumes that the
shell is already running, so it runs the File Explorer part. If anyone out
there a) understands what I am talking about, and b) knows how to make
EXPLORER.EXE run the shell instead of the file explorer, please e-mail me at
ngarwood AT msn DOT com. Thanx in advance.
