It's not the shell... I can exit Explorer, and kill the remaining EXPLORER.EXE, and I can still toggle the trails on and off using "CONTROL MAIN.CPL" (which just starts a RUNDLL32.EXE process). (Win 7) I'm guessing it's done in the GDI or USER layers (or whatever might have replaced/supplemented them under NT 6). There's presumably an API call or something that occurs to tell whatever-it-is to change behavior (or re-read the registry). ProcMon doesn't seem to show anything happening in a quick test; might be my exclude filters are too strict. -- Ben
