i need help installing a new shell to Windows XP

Yeah, which shell are we talking about? <br /> <br />Anyhow, these are the two entries in the register I always change if I want to do it manually: <br /> <br />[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] <br />&quot;Shell&quot;=&quot;path\\to\\shell\\exe&quot; <br />[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] <br />&quot;Shell&quot;=&quot;path\\to\\shell\\exe&quot; <br /> <br />But only follow this path if you know how to reverse it.

What Dutchy said!
