WinXP Shell mode
« on: August 28, 2002, 07:54:47 AM »
I would like to know how I can boot directly into 3rd party software using winxp and not have it go to the desktop first. I do not want to add the program into the startup folder or add a logon script because windows is still accessable.

Eg. in Win98 you can change the system.ini as follows:
;Shell=explorer.exe
shell=c:programsblah blah blah etc...

and then windows will boot straight into my program. Can this be done in win XP ?????
