Hi Sergio,

To achieve this you can replace the shell (explorer) with your application. To do this in Windows 95, change the shell entry in the [boot] section of your system.ini file from shell=explorer.exe to shell=yourapp.exe. To accomplish the same thing in NT, you'll need to use the registry editor to change the following value from explorer.exe to yourapp.exe:
Hkey_local_machine / Software / Microsoft / WindowsNT / CurrentVersion / Winlogon / Shell. Your application will be loaded when the machine is booted or after you log on instead of Explorer, and there will be no Start menu.
