Retrieving the default Shell

[Junkie]

I temporarily switched the XP Shell off to something else to see how it would look, but now I can't get the original XP Shell back. I know for previous Windows versions, it would just be editing the system.ini, but I can't find a file that's similar to that.

When I boot up now, all I get is a single explorer window, not the taskbar w/start menu, icons, or anything else. How can I get back the original shell?

How did you turn off the XP shell?

There's a program called ShellEnabler. I was showing a friend what LiteStep looked like, and what it did.

Push Start/Run Type msconfig and make sure Process SYSTEM.INI
is checked.
