# Shell Launcher Overview
# Shell Launcher overview
Shell Launcher is a Windows feature that you can use to replace the default Windows Explorer shell (`Explorer.exe`) with a Windows desktop application or a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. This feature is useful for creating a custom user experience on devices that are used for a specific purpose, including kiosks, ATMs, and digital signage.
@ -35,3 +35,15 @@ Here are some limitations to consider when using Shell Launcher:
- Windows doesn't support setting a custom shell before the out-of-box experience (OOBE). If you do, you can't deploy the resulting image
- Shell Launcher doesn't support a custom shell with an application that launches a different process and exits. For example, you can't specify `write.exe` in Shell Launcher. Shell Launcher launches a custom shell and monitors the process to identify when the custom shell exits. `Write.exe` creates a 32-bit `wordpad.exe` process and exits. Since Shell Launcher isn't aware of the newly created `wordpad.exe` process, Shell Launcher takes action based on the exit code of `Write.exe`, such as restarting the custom shell

# Quickstart: Configure a Kiosk With Shell Launcher
# Quickstart: configure a kiosk with Shell Launcher
This quickstart provides practical examples of how to configure a *kiosk experience* on Windows with Shell Launcher. The examples describe the steps using a mobile device management solution (MDM) like Microsoft Intune, and PowerShell. While different solutions are used, the configuration settings and results are the same.
