Different Shells for Different Users

[Guest]

I have 2 administrator user accounts that use explorer shell. I also have 2
user accounts that use custom shell. Does anyone know of a way to set this in
TD. Currently, I'm doing it as a post-build process and it's a pain in the
butt.

Any help is appreciated.

Tim,

Why not set up all the [..\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"Shell" values in TD Extra Registry section?

See this Sean's article on how to do that:

KM,

I want to set up unique user shells from TD, but each user needs to be
logged on in order to set it's HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell key.

You can use Regmigrate approach: http://blogs.msdn.com/embedded/archive/2005/04/25/411763.aspx.
