How about loading the OS, then killing the explorer.exe process via task
manager.  This should leave you with a blank screen.  Create a new task
in Task manager (pathToCitrix\pn.exe) see if it starts and gets the same
results ( 'Connection in Progress' animation, and then nothing).   If
so, try creating explorer.exe as a new task and see if you are right. 
That is...is the application really running in the background.

HTH,

In the past, I've configured Win9x clients to use the ICA client as the
OS
Shell (by editing the System.ini 'Shell' statement), thereby
eliminating
User Access to the base OS, and directing the User into their
appropriate
Metaframe session. 

I'm now trying to test this out on NT workstations for another client.
On NT
and Win2k, Shell replacements are handled in the registry. I've got a
test
machine (W2k) that I've configured the ICA client as the Shell, but
When the
application launches, I get the 'Connection in Progress' animation, and
then
nothing. I believe the session has started, but just doesn't show up on
the
screen. I've tried various combinations of using 'WFCRUN32.exe',
'WFica32.exe' and 'PN.exe' as the shell with similar results...


Anybody have any thoughts or opinions???
