<h2>“Select Resource Bundle” Menu via Keyboard</h2>
<p>There is a way to open a menu that allows selecting “Resource Bundles” without the use of a discrete chain of keyboard combinations or UI interactions. You can access this menu by pressing the <code>`</code> key on a keyboard.</p>

<h1>Getting a Temporary Normal Desktop Environment</h1>
<p>This section only covers a temporary normal desktop environment that will not persist across reboots, if you would like it to persist until you manually change it, follow the instructions in <a href="#autobooting-to-the-normal-windows-desktop-environment">Autobooting to the Normal Windows Desktop Environment</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Autobooting to the default Windows desktop environment</h1>
<p>The following will NOT work on a Windows 7 machine, this will only work on Windows 10 or Windows 11!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To get a normal desktop environment until you power off the PC, open command prompt from the Redbox Desktop and type <code>explorer</code>, the first time this is done will launch the normal desktop environment, any subsequent calls will open a new explorer window.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Autobooting to the Normal Windows Desktop Environment</h1>
<p>If you want to prevent the autoboot of Kiosk Engine and would rather boot to a standard Windows desktop environment, you need to edit the <code>Shell</code>registry key located at <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon</code></p>
<p>You want to change the value of this key to <code>C:\Windows\explorer.exe</code></p>
<p>After you change the value, reboot the machine and the Windows desktop environment will show by default.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After you change the value, reboot the machine and the normal Windows desktop environment will be displayed.</p>
<p>To switch back to the default kiosk engine autoboot, change the value to <code>C:\Program Files\Redbox\KioskShell\KioskShell.exe</code></p>
