Windows 10: Windows 10 explorer.exe question.

Hi.


I'm having some troubles on the execution of explorer.exe, let me explain you.I'm working on a desktop application that starts on user logon and so on Fullscreen, but between the user logon and the application execution there's a few seconds that desktop is displayed.


Well, what I want is to prevent explorer.exe from running on logon and instead executing it from myself with my program.

I've disabled explorer.exe modifying the registry key for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → Software → Microsoft → Windows NT → CurrentVersion → Winlogon to null.

It works, on logon there's nothing displaying until my app pops up.


The problem is that when I execute the explorer.exe from myself, it runs the file explorer and not the desktop and the taskbar.


If I don't disable explorer.exe and instead I let it run, manually kill the process and then execute explorer.exe manually it starts the desktop and the taskbar correctly and not the file explorer.

Does anyone know why is a file explorer popping up instead of desktop and how can I solve it?


It doesn't need to be my solution, if there's another way to NOT show the desktop between the user logon and the app start its okay.

Thank you in advance.

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?




Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
