Hi all,

I want to know whether it is possible to switch from one shell to another in
WinXP Embedded, without having to reboot or log off. Any hints as to how to
go about it, will be helpful...

Advance thanx for any help forthcoming...

open regedit and change the shell value :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
\Winlogon

the SHELL need to be changed to the wanted shell
Start the new shell.

the best way to make that is to start a CMD.exe.
>From there:
- Regedit
- kill old shell
- call new shell
- close CMD
