Shell eliminates shell buttons

Hi,
We tried using PWB2.03 as the shell using the method from the
link below though it works fine to eliminate the desktop it also
eliminates the shell buttons(word,excel,pwbStop). The shell buttons
are only lost when PWB is used as the shell, is there a way to use
this method and keep the shell buttons intact?

Thanks for any help, Geo

I tried following the steps using PWB v2.04 and the shell buttons work. PWB v2.04 has better path finding then PWB v2.03, so this is probably allowing PWB v2.04 to find the shellbar folder. Try using the full path in the
PWB.INI to all the files.

...
DownloadErrorMessageFile=C:\PWB\DownloadError.txt
FavoritesFolder=C:\PWB\Favorites
ShellBarFolder=C:\PWB\ShellBar
...

The beta test copy of PWB v2.04 is available here

Hi,
I tried using PWB 2.04 with shell buttons in kiosk mode on a per user basis and
it worked fine. This way we can setup a "user" account in win2k,
have it boot up automatically and when we want to change something
we just have to log off.
Thanks for the help, Geo
