StartOrb resets after reboot

[mauraea]

Hello -

I've set a custom explorer.exe file on my PC. However, whenever I reboot it resets to the default Windows startorb.

What am I doing wrong? I've renamed the original explorer.exe file and placed the new one in the same folder location. I've confirmed that both files (old & new) are in the correct location upon boot up.

Welcome to the forum,

I'm not sure why your's is doing that but this tool here,

Is the easiest, fastest way to change a start orb.

Thanks for the tool, however I'd like to find out why it's not working first. I have a lot to learn about Windows 7 - I admit - but I'd prefer to not use tools when I don't quite understand what they're doing.
