having trouble figuring this out, ive used instant sheller to hide xp to boot into mala on my bartop,but finding it is stopping xpadder from booting up also, as it stops explorer running which i need to exit from the emulators i have set up,how are you guys working around this?

Do you run MaLa as your windows shell? Do you wish you had a good way to launch background tasks (like CPWizard) when windows boots up, without having to resort to installing a RunAsService type of program? Well here's the answer...

Install this plugin, create a "Launch" subdirectory under Plugins, and put some shortcuts in there. They will be launched when MaLa starts up, just like the start menu's Startup folder does if you have explorer as your shell.

It can be found on the MaLa plugin webpage: http://malafe.net/index.php?page=plugins

Enjoy!

Sounds like it  ;)
