Hi all,

I recently installed Win2K on a friends machine and everything seemed fine until it started to boot with Program Manager.

Can someone tell me how I get it to start normally again?

I tried a system repair but nothing changed and looking through the help files etc it seems that using program manager is an option somewhere but doesn't say where to change it.

Cheers

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Shell should be Explorer.exe (is yours showing progman.exe?)
 
Excellent!!

Thank you very much.
