Run ClickOnce application as explorer shell replacement

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Need to have my application launch at logon, replacing the
explorer.exe shell. I've tried using the following to no avail...
In the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
\Shell
I change the value to

C:\Documents and Settings\jcrowe.SATSYS\Start Menu\Programs\Saturn
Systems, Inc\CTSClient.appref-ms

Which does not work at logon- it kicks back to explorer.exe...

I've also tried
rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShOpenVerbApplication C:\Documents and Settings
\jcrowe.SATSYS\Start Menu\Programs\Saturn Systems, Inc
\CTSClient.appref-ms

which does not load explorer.exe, but does not run the clickonce app
loader.

I've tried this too, but don't recall the results other then it didn't
work.

rundll32.exe dfshim.dll,ShOpenVerbApplication http://bonsai/WFCRSPublish/CTSClient.application

I can use any of the above to run the exe from command line, but not
at logon.


Any help running my clickonce app as a shell replacement?
Thanks!
Jeff (Sorry if this posts twice, I think the first failed but I'm not
sure).
