[QUOTE="Toddi, post: 1023401, member: 86427"] Maybe my solution is interesting for you. I have written an autoit script, which is running as shell, if you want. It has hotkey support to switch between explorer and itself as shell. It disables mousepointer if the script is shell and you can enable/disable mousepointer with hotkeys. It starts all necessary programs one after the other with configurable delays. For me its running very stable since a few years. It has some requirements to work: - UAC has to be turned off (for shell exchange) - you have to import the included reg-file (it enables automatic relogon after logoff; necessary for shell exchange) - automatic logon (if your useraccount is passwordprotected, autologon from sysinternals helps) - useraccount must be an administrator - put all included files in one folder All options are set in ini-file, so here is a good starting point. I have included a few explanations. Put a link to exe (MPservice.exe for 32bit and MPService64.exe for 64bit operating system) into autostart folder. Fell free to ask if you have any questions.
