Getting my Front end to run as a shell
(1/3) > >>
grayxx:
hi guys ive been thinking of setting my mala front end as a shell in xp, so i can get rid of the task bar etc, ive been looking at how to do it, but once ive done it as a shell, how do i add remove roms etc if it boots straight into my mala frontend, like is it possible to go to the windows xp desktop from the shell??
loadman:
You could network to it and make changes remotely?

I use MaLa on start-up and toyed with the idea of running it as the shell.  I decided not to do it  ;D

Yes it is. Exit the front end, CONTROL ALT DELETE to bring up task manager. goto FILE/RUN then type EXPLORER or EXPLORER.EXE and there you go, start menu returns!

If you do this remotely, CONTROL ALT DELETE does not work, use CONTROL ALT and HOME (or was it END?) instead
SirPoonga:
Not quite.  ctrl+alt+delete is part of explorer, so if explorer isn't running...
I don't know about mala, but if you can get it to run explorer you will be set.

Ctrl-alt-delete works fine without explorer running on my cab.
