| Mamewah As Frontend - Have I Cocked Up! |

| M.A.M.E Power:
Ok have been configuring my PC for use in my cabinet, have done everything now - the last thing to do was set Mamewah as the shell. Set it as the shell and works fine - but i cannot access windows now through that user account. I can still access all i need through the admin account, was just wondering if it is normally done this way (i.e two accounts). I guess it would be useful to be able to gain access to windows via the mamewah user account. I await your knowledge! Lea |

I don't think I understand what you did here. When I set up my PC, the initial user account created had admin rights. That is the only account needed. I installed MameWAH and set up it. Just drag and drop the MameWAH.exe into your startup folder. Set XP to auto-login for you, and voila! Every time your PC comes on, it will log itself in and launch mamewah. |

That is the point of a shell. To allow you to do all the "windows" stuff. Changing your shell to MAMEWAH means you chose to run MAMEWAH only. However, there should be a way out. Directions may differ due to OS. 1. Alt-Ctl-Del 2. Task Manager 3. File -> Run 4. Type explorer I "think" MAMEWAH has this ability to app_to_run_on_exit. If you put explorer in there, when you exit MAMEWAH this should run. |

I can do all the windows stuff. I just hit ESC when in Mamewah and it takes me back to windows. |

You are running it like any other application which you are right it works just fine. |
