    I think you should but your app to start instead of explorer.exe in the shell key in system.ini
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Well, this isn't anything you do in code.(Or of couse you can do it also), but go open system.ini with notepad and find the "shell=explorer.exe" and replace it with "shell=yourapp.exe" Then it will run instead of explorer when you restart next time

    As far as "I Know" you can't close Explorer, I mean try to end the explorer task in your task manager and it'll just start back again..

    Thats the thing you can under windows 2000. It has a great task manager that lets you close explorer and start up any other program. So if possible could you just tell me how to close an application?

    Thanks. xoxo
