I have just made a little program that starts up Litestep or explorer with two buttons, I want it to start each time the computer starts, and it does. But here is the problem: Since I want to choose the shell when I start up, they can't be set to run automatically. So how do you prevent them to startup automatically?

set it as shell with the utility called *setshell*.

The program i made?

\LiteStep\utilites\setshell.exe

it would depend on your os how you would proceed from here. if you have an os based on an nt kernel you want your app to run from the registry and execute your shell. if you are running a 9x kernel then you need to have your app run in your autoexec.bat and control which shell= line runs in your system.ini.
