[shell-coding] Re: Newbie question

This is because you must implement a dde server or run a standalone one 
(bluebox's will run without bluebox running).  Otherwise you will get error 
messages when you try to open folders.

  I have written a program that I am running as the windows shell on win2000, 
as set in the registry.  From this program it is a requirement that I be able 
to launch the control panel applet (ncpa.cpl - network and dial-up 
connections), however when my program is running as the shell I am unable to do 
this. When I launch the network control panel running the application when it 
is not the shell it works correctly, otherwise I receive the error message:

  "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied"

  ncpa.cpl seems to be the only control panel applet that is affected by the 
new shell. When i try to open the applet from the command line ( "rundll32.exe 
shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL ncpa.cpl" ) i get the same error.

  what am i doing wrong?

  Thanks!
