Instant sheller problem

[emphatic]

I can't get it to work at first attempt. Then I had to go to work so I haven't given it a second try.

Instant Sheller can't modify the boot.ini nor the files that it tries to change after that. Do I have to be logged in as 'Administrator' for it to work even if my regular user account has all rights?

Ditto for me Tom,I finally had a chance to try out version .31 today.I get an unhandled exception error box with a message "access to the path "C:\boot.ini" is denied".Funny thing though,even though I get the error message if you close out the error box and run the sheller again the undo screen pops up even though it does not seem to have changed anything.

gameex 5.22

.net 1.1

win xp pro

That's the exact same problem I get. I have StyleXP installed by the way. It's a GUI replacer for windows and I just thought it relevant to mention that in case it's causing this? Do you have a similar app, Wrench? Or is it a bug with IS?

OK, fixed now. I just uploaded 0.32.

Tried v.32 today,at first I didn't think it was going to work.I did not get the boot.ini message.But on first restart I did get a log on selection screen,I clicked my user then gameex started but closed with an error log.The second restart however,everything worked as expected and the undo feature also worked with no problem.

here's the download link if anyone needs it

Yes, I've tried it and it works very well. It was a bit tricky getting rid of it as it didn't return to Explorer afterwards.

It would be cool if you could have an optional boot menu, where you choose "GameEx" or "Windows XP (example)". And in Instant Sheller, a checkbox "Enable boot menu". So you can just reboot and get back to "normal" use. Good for updating M.A.M.E. or what not.

Or, use LaunchShell and don't use the hide icons/desktop etc. options, just set GameEx as the shell and use launchshell before and after launching GameEx and it will keep the shell hidden until you exit, upon which it will load the desktop for you.
