Hello, I've changed the shell to be a batch file, instead of using the
standard explore.exe as done in the registry under the following:

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

When my batch file loads at startup, it runs fine. However I can see a
tiny little window in the lower left (actually it is just the titlebar
with the border icons (for minimize/restore/close). Is there a way
that I can make this so it will be invisible? Could I possibly use a
batch file compiler? Would that fix this problem?

Thanks
Mike
