How do I go about having a front end start when my PC is turned on?

Any ideas?

Check ou tThe Launcher.. You dont have to mess with windows settings. It can start your front end, then shut down your machine when you are finished.

Lilwolf:
Start off by putting it in your startup and test it for a while

If you realize that you never need any other functionality, then your golden and can try making it your shell.

But one way is VERY easy... the other makes maintenance / configuration a pain.

totally agreed.

Thirded..

Some fe's have trouble when they are set to the shell anyway. I wouldn't do it unless I really, really knew I could do it.

Question for HC:  What FE's have a problem?  You can PM me if you want to avaoid a FE war.  I just have not heard of any FE's being a problem as a shell before...(when done correctly)
