LS as a shell on a per-user basis in winxp Thread last updated on 2006-05-20 01:25:40

Hiya. I'm wondering how I should go about having litestep run only on one user account under winxp. My only idea was to run a program at startup that will kill explorer and start LS, but that seems very ugly. Are there any settings I can play with?

It was an option during the install if you used omar's installer. If you want options when you boot you could run a shell manager.

The litestep doc said:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot]
"Shell"="USR:Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"shell"="C:\\LiteStep\\litestep.exe"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"DesktopProcess"=dword:00000001

yea but running the install again is so much better than telling people to go edit their registries.
