You've got the shutdown sequence right ctrl-Alt-Shift and click cancel.  You
do this first to stop IE 4 which is the default shell post IE 4 install.
However, any windows apps, ie delphi are still running.  You then run your
delphi program and have it's parameters point to your 'IExplore.exe'
wherever windows may have put it.  All this is required since delphi cannot
set debug hooks in something that is already running and you want to test
inside of it.

To restart the shell double click on the desktop.  This brings up the task
manager from which you can run 'explorer' to restart the shell.
