Running single game on computer setup
CapriRS302:
Just my two cents...
Change the windows loading screen with a bootscreen loader. You can design a new one based on te game you are loading, maybe a title screen snapshot. The only drawback is that it has to be in 256 colors.
You cannot hide the bootscreen as far as I know, but you could simply just make it all "black" including the little status bars that move from side to side, then no one would know it was there.
Then you have to go into the windows registry and replace explorer.exe with the executable file for your game. Windows should load your game instead of the explorer shell.
If you need windows after that, you will need to boot into safe mode.

You can still bring up Task Manager via CTRL-ALT-DEL and then just run explorer.exe and it should load the shell up.
