I have a Winlogon build that uses the Command Shell.
All use of the device is remote, via network. (and it's headless)
If a user were to Exit the cmd shell, the device would be useless untill the power could be cycled.
Is there a way to make the command shell restart on exit?

JimC,

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"AutoRestartShell". Set to "1" (DWORD).

You may set it in your component (orExtra Registry in TD) or
check your image "Windows Logon (Standard)" component Registry Data
resources and find there [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],"AutoRestartShell" value. Set it to "1".

Hope this is what you're looking for.

JmC,

I thought it should work. Can you confirm the value is set to "1" on your runtime image (post-FBA)? (just run regedit at runtime and verify the reg.value)

If it does not work then try to play [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon], "Config" dword value. AFAIK, 5-th bit of this reg.value is responsible for AutoShellStart. Set the bit to 1 (regvalue Or 0x10) and reboot the target.
