Hello. I would like to replace the program that runs explorer.exe at system startup with something that would limit the computer to only using the desktop and shortcuts located on it. Is it possible to download desktop.exe for Windows 8.1 or another launcher for only desktop? I want to change the running program using regedit in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_Software_Microsoft_Windows NT_CurrentVersion_Winlogon by changing the .exe file in value Shell.
