    winamp on start-up

    hi guys a few questions
    .. on my planned system i watn to run winamp fullscreen on a lcd.

    ok is there a way to have the visulizations and the player running at the sametime as soon as the computer starts... ie instead of seeing windows all you see is winamp and the funky visualizations. the player at the top will be much more simple
    heres a pic:

    play around with the settings in winamp, and drag a shortcut to winamp.exe to the autostartfolder in startmenu

    Or add something like:
    Code:
    start /wait C:/winamp/winamp.exe
    to your autoexe.bat
    And you say people actually pay money for M$ Windows?

    how do all of you guys have winamp running?
    ie: once the carputer is started do you have a button to start winamp? or is automatically loaded?

    Most of us use one of the above mentioned methods..

    or

    use winamp as your shell instead of explorer by editing your system.ini file

    shell=c:\path\to\folder\winamp.exe

    If you need to have some other applications load also (like an IR reciever program) you can make a batch file with paths to your aps and use that as the shell.

    I think that there is also a run= line you can use so you
    can put winamp in the shell and for example winlirc in the
    run= option in system.ini
