Did a quick search on Google...

Do you have have @HOME installed? Quote from another message board.....

OK. I found out a little more. The TG programs (TGCMD.EXE, TGSHELL.EXE, etc.) in the @home\tioga\bin directory are part of a suite of tools from Tioga Systems Inc.. They are tools that help solve configuration problems on your computer, part of Tioga's "Healing System help desk software". I believe @Home licenses Titoga's system for use by its customers to help them solve problems with your @Home setup.
I don't believe these programs are necessary for your system to work. They are only there to help you on your own or with the help of an @Home tech support person to correct corruption or problems that may arise.

So, to solve my problem of TGSHELL.EXE crashing and in so doing sometimes causing other programs I'm running to screw up (like EverQuest :) I'm going to uninstall the whole Tioga suite. Worst case is I have problems later and the tech guys at home ask me to reinstall it.
