Winamp start-up
Hi all,
I am new to this so I will try not to bore most of you. I need to know how to set winamp in a shell. Do I set it up in the sys.ini and delete the explorer.exe??? Is that all I need to do??? I set it up like ben allen has in another post but when I boot up windows95, it say's it can't find winamp.exe and then tell's me to reload windows.
Thanks in advance,
DO NOT DELETE EXPLORER.EXE !!
you change your system.ini from this
[boot]
shell=Explorer.exe
to this
[boot]
shell=c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe
always use the short path description (8.3) since MS has ****ed up the long path names when it comes to the ini files.
the two most important things to do is
make a backup of your system.ini before you change it
Make SURE that you can boot from a floppy and has a boot floppy. this way you can always copy your old file over the modified one.

If I change my system.ini from this
[boot]
shell=Explorer.exe
to this
[boot]
shell=c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe
What happens to Explorer.exe. Am I not replacing Explorer.exe with
c:\progra~1\winamp\winamp.exe???
no, you are executing winamp.exe instead of explorer.exe
explorer.exe is left alone
What bgoodman said
this is all assuming you even have winamp in your program files directory, which some do not.

lol...yep. If winamp is not installed in that exact path, the OS will do one of two things. Will give u an exception error message OR will will you the good old background color. Also note that if u are using win98/ME, i hope u have a dos disk handy OR have network stuff setup to correct any mistakes.
