Shell Starter 1.0

I created this program to easily change your Windows Shell to GameEx, or any other program you choose, and it will also re-enable the Windows Shell (or other Shell you choose) temporarily, so you can reload Windows instantly and reset the shell to the previous state after loading Windows. I have GameEx as my Windows Shell right now, but it was not very easy to exit GameEx and access Windows if I needed to, and so this program was made to do everything automatically for me.

You set the program to launch in the "Launch On Exit" setting in the "Tweaks/Performance" settings of GameEx.

The "Shell To Start" is the shell you want to temporarily start. I suppose you could start another shell besides the Windows explorer shell, but this is what I use it for.

The "Shell To Use" is the shell you want to become active after you reboot the computer. The program can set this value without actually starting a new shell by clicking the "Only Set As New Shell" button. This is the button you can use to set the shell to GameEx the first time.

If you click the Submit button, then the temporary shell will start, and the new shell will be set.

If you click the Exit without Submitting Changes button, then nothing will happen.

This has only been tested in Windows7, but should work in Vista or XP. I have no idea how it would work in Windows 8.

Thanks for trying out the program, hope it works for you.
