DESCRIPTION
ShadowStart is a small utility that should be called from
the startup-sequence.
If the space-bar is pressed down a requester pops up,
asking you if you want the WBStartup-drawer, the
User-Startup script or both to be disabled.
This means, you can bootup a "clean" Workbench,
without any programs in WBStartup or User-Startup executed!
And also a new shell-window can be opened for changing
things befor executing the startup-sequence.
(Source code is included.)
FUTURE
Ideas and suggestions are always welcome!
