What's a good front end for MAME for a non-computer guy?

2PacMan:
I just downloaded the latest version of MAME, and i can run it through the DOS prompt.  It works great with my keyboard, but i'm ready to put it in my cab.

I'm looking for the best/most simple front end way to play my roms through windows and just using my joystick and buttons to select games.

I'm not real computer savy, so i just need something that's simple and easy to maintain.  Any suggestions???

I use MameWah.

I think i'm of a similar skill level to you and tried a few different FE's to begin with.
MameWah was the easiest to understand, set up and modify by some margin. It also supports any other command line emu's so you can run them all from the same FE.
It includes menu options to exit to windows or exit and shut down so is ideal for a dedicated cab. You can also configure it to play movie clips and sounds on start up and exit and it can play your favourite mp3's in the background while you browse.

You could also try Mame32 that comes with a built in FE and can be configured to be operated with Joystick control via windows like drop down menu's.
Sasquatch!:
I think Game Launcher fits your requirements well.  There is a bit of configuration that you'll have to do, but IMO it is one of the simpler FEs to set up.
