Well, if you are one of those who are sick of XP being such a resource hog, you can do what I did.

Setup progman.exe and copy it to your windows folder.

Then goto your registry to location:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

and change shell from Explorer.exe to Progman.exe

Make sure Progman.exe is in your windows folder, cos in XP it is in system32 by default.

ChakanTGM:
what does that do? i'm a dumb Linux user, excuse me . . .

Laukev7:
It replaces the default Windows Explorer (MSIE) by the Program Manager from Windows 95.

How to crash your computer:

Open file://c:\con\con in Windows Explorer.

Result garanteed.   :D  

Edit: I'm not sure about Windows XP, though.

well i replaced it with the windows XP shell. works fine.

then i used a dll to give mIRC a desktop, so i dont even need to  use a shell for windows..
