Explorer without explorer shell

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying create a reasonably small image (50MB) with minlogon, command
shell, and the windows explorer application. If I start explorer.exe from the
command line nothing appears to happen.

I don't have task manager so I can't tell whether it's running and not
displaying anything, or not running at all etc. If I include explorer shell
and winlogon it runs fine.

Is there some unlisted explorer dependency that I'm missing?

Matt,

First of all, there is a bunch of command line tools to see what processes
are running on your systrem (check out, for instance, www.sysinternals.com).

AFAIK, explorer app can be run from command line shell. If it does not for
you, you are likely missing some components.
Make sure you satisfy Explorer App dependencies and resolve them in TD.
