Could you please explain what you mean by replacing the shell?  Do you
mean replace the actual IExplore interface?  I'd have thought it easier
just to intercept the keyboard commands.

Some keyboard commands have highest priority (Ctrl+Alt+Del, Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and are not easily intercepted. As Nicholas says, you can write a replacement gina.dll if you want a custom login procedure, but that won't change the behaviour of the shell.

The shell is explorer.exe (The "Windows Explorer" file manager is just one aspect of this). When you write a shell replacement you instruct Windows to use your executable instead of explorer.exe as the shell.
