Hey,

 

I am into windows platform research. Can anybody tell me, how we can

determine "Active

 

desktop" settings from ShellState

 

(HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-XX-xxxx\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

ShellState).

 

i did a reverse engineering of this value data. It si Binary data. I found

that the 5th

 

Byte in ShellState is changing everytime i change active desktop status

(enable or

 

disable).

- Am i right by saying that this 5th BYTE only decides the active desktop

status?

- Also, am i right by saying that the 7th Bit of this 5th BYTE is mainly

responsible to

 

change Active desktop enable and disable?

- Is it applicable for all windows OS 2000 and above?

 

thanks in advance for your time and reply.

 

Manoj
