Hi CapWx,
Unfortunately, adding static context menu items to the Desktop is not possible in Windows 9x/XP.
By launching a cmd prompt I could run a program like Process Explorer
Does Task Manager open when you press CTRL+ALt+DEL (or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC). If so, you can launch applications from Task Manager [File - New Task]

Greetings
There are times, though rare, that Windows starts with a blank Desktop - no
taskbar, no icons, just the back ground. Usually, not even Ctrl-Alt-Del
works; it's like the shell hung on start. But after a har reset, when
everything comes up, I find no errors in the systems or applications logs.
For all apparent purposes, everything has started fine.
I can right click and get the desktops properties to come up e.g Arrange
Icons by >, Refresh, NEW, properties, etc. What I'd like to add is the
ability to launch a command processor (cmd.exe) similar to what many of the
Linux and Unix flavors have as options.
By launching a cmd prompt I could run a program like Process Explorer and
see what is actually going on, do a controlled restart, etc.
Is there a reg hack for that? I could not find one, so TIA for the help.
