We have a .Net application that runs as a shell for certain users. We'd like the application to automatically restart when it crashes.

The application is set as the shell here:
HKEY_USERS*User*\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\WinLogon\Shell

I've tried adding an "AutoRestartShell" key with a value of "1", like what exists in: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\WinLogon.

When I kill the application's process for the user (via RDP) the application exits, but never restarts.

Ideas?
