Here's another couple of things you might want to disable.

StickyKeys: Start - Control Panel - Accessability Options (that damb shift key catches me everytime!)

SoundScheme: Start - Control Panel - Sounds And Audio Devices - Sounds (I can't stand those Windows startup and shutdown sounds)

--- Quote ---One issue I have though is that my wireless network connection does not work so I cant use the internet radio or news feeds. Anyone got any ideas? I guess this is an XP thing rather than a GameEx thing hence I am posting here. Anyone else got the same problem Maybe I have to set an app/driver for this to run on startup or something. All help appreciated.

Weird, Wireless works for me with my FE as a shell using XP.

Have you tried changing the shell back to explorer and making sure wireless works again then switching back to GameEx as your shell?

After my Boot screen I get a Blue graphic that says "Gateway" in the bottom right corner this same screen also pops up right before shutdown.

Can anyone help me to remove it?

I have disabled the XP welcome screen as well as the XP logon screen. I think I followed all the steps in this thread. Is there something I am missing?

I've got the same thing going on. I think it is in the bios or rom of the motherboard. If you're using a desktop unit, I suspect the "use an old PCI card" trick described previously in this thread will at least hide it on boot. I'm using a laptop and don't have that option. Any ideas anyone?

I have a feeling you're right about the BIOS. You might be able to flash it to get rid of the proprietary Gateway parts.
