Minlogon help

Hello,

I have an image that uses Minlogon. I also have an application I want it to
run on startup. Basically, I want to know how to specify a program to run
at startup when using a minlogon interface. I am using "shell prototype" as
the minlogon shell because I basically want my app to be the only thing
running. I DON'T want to use the 'command shell'.

Why not make your application the shell ? I hear you say...I tried that,
but since shell apps *seem* to always start in the system32 directory my app
won't work because it needs things in other directories. Is there a way to
specify which directory the shell starts in through an extended property or
something ?

Any help appreciated.

Yabbie,

What's about FBA RunOnce/Run request? I haven't tried that with Minlogon
image and a custom shell, and I am away from my XPe comp now to check it out
but it was worth to mention.

Also, you can always run any app from your custom shell app -
CreateProcess/ShellExecute.

I guess your second question is covered by your next post. You may wnat to
try SetCurrentDirectory API.

Yabbie,

Why dont u have a stub.exe kind of executable in the system32 folder
that can launch your Shell from the respective folder.That should be a
fairer idea rather than changing your code path to the respective
folder.
