Hi,

Can anyone please tell me which part to look for in the registry to add
explorer? Currently, when I logon to my win2k pro, I only got a blank (blue
color) screen.

Thanks.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"

But unless you went there and changed the key I don't think that is your
problem. Search the MS KB for Blank Desktop. I seem to recall also
that denying yourself permission on the winnt folder has the same effect
as what you describe.
