Thread: Running Winamp On Startup

If you're running Winamp as shell you can always push Ctrl+Esc to get the run command, type explore and load explorer when you need it.

Trav

To run a playlist at startup, just add it to
the system.ini file like so.....

shell=c:\winamp\winamp.exe myplaylist.m3u

Enjoy

ItaliaAW: yes, i think under win.ini. Add it to load=c:\remotecontrol\remote.exe
or what ever the exe is. Also there is a place in registry you can add the startup items. I don't remmember where it is. I am sure someone in here knows or you can search through MS homepage.

To do this with he registry you open up regedit, goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Runservices

Add the string there. There are other similar folders there like 'runonce' that if you use them your program will run the next time you reboot but never again on startup (Hence the name)

Anyway, to add the string Click edit, New, String Value, Name the string whatever and open the new string.
Then put the path in (Such as C:\mpxplay\mpxplay.exe) and reboot your computer to see if it worked.

If you are new to the registry (Or not) I would suggest backing up the registry before changing anything. It's alot nicer to just restore the Registry than it is to rebuilt your box!
