And no, I don't consider that a disclaimer. The standard
disclaimer is in the readme.txt file.

The thing I would be most worried about is the fact that Ivar said he
uninstalled your program and his desktop still did not return to
normal!

Which would have been expected if you were to just uninstall it and NOT
go back to the options and un-check 'Use as Shell'.

When the 'Use as Shell' option is selected and subsequently, the 'OK'
button is clicked on the 'Options' page, the current setting for Shell
line in the registry is backed up to the INI file, and a message box
comes up letting you confirm or cancel this action. It also tells you
exactly what the current entry is on the Shell line. It also instructs
you on how to change it back, which is to go back to the 'Options' and
un-check 'Set as Shell'. As a matter of fact, even after un-installing,
unless you delete the install directory, the INI file still exists, and
re-installing the software will pick up the original file with the Shell
backup in it and going to the Menu Editor/Options will allow you to set
it back through the program and not require a manual registry edit.

RTFM !! (And the dialog boxes within the program offering additional
instructions.)

What worries me is that this 'is what you expected', and that your
immediate _assumption_ is that the system was 'hosed'.

It is NOT my fault that the program worked EXACTLY as intended, AND as
described in the manual, and that Ivor installed and tried something
without reading the accompanying manual.

Again, this program makes no modification to the registry OTHER than the
Shell line, that is all.
