AutorestartShell

[Amit]

Hi All,

I have a custom application as my shell. On termination of
this application I would like to Autorestart the
application. There is flag in the registry under Winlogon
called AutorestartShell which determines whether the Shell
should be restarted. I have set that to 1 which indicates
that the Shell should be restarted if it fails, but it
does not seem to be working.

DO i need to do anything else to get the Shell to Auto
restart?

Thanks for your time.
Amit

Amit,

The registry value was working fine for me. Just to make sure that you set
it properly, check your image "Windows Logon (Standard)" component Registry
Data resources and find there [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"AutoRestartShell" value and set it to "1".

Sorry, could not help more.

This doesn't work on my image, but I never got round to investigating which
components it requires to work. It's on my list of things to do.
