Put a shortcut in your startup folder

Better yet, hibernate windows while FP is running. FP will startup where it left off automatically.

Or tell windows to load FrodoPlayer.exe as shell instead of explorer.exe

I think that is the way I will end up going, should be faster to boot I would think(?)

How?

Got this from another page:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System]
Value Name: Shell
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: your shell with full path

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System]
Value Name: Shell
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: your shell with full path

I think that is the way I will end up going, should be faster to boot I would think(?)

It does .

so wait, if i boot straight to frodoplayer....what happens when i close it? does my comp shutdown?


Also what happens if i **** up in the registry. How do i get back to it to switch it back to default so windows will load again
