I've never understood why it is that people frett about seeing Windows at bootup....... Several of the arcade machines that we have in the arcade I work for, run on Windows 98 and Windows XP.... and you most certainly do see windows during bootup every morning.

it's not really a big deal but given the choice, i like seeing that different boot up if not for me, for all of my non-arcade-enthusiest friends it makes it feel more geniune and not like they are just playing on a glorified keyboard but yeah, i didn't have the changed boot splash until a couple months ago it takes all of about 5 minutes to get up no biggie |

Many people are amazed by my arcade, once they find out about the computer and keyboard encoder... well, it's like learning a magic trick. |

:cheers: I use windows 98se. My desktop is black and my taskbar is set to auto hide. All of my icons are hidden, by using the folder option: hide icons when desktop is viewed as a webpage. The windows logo has been replaced with a mame logo. It also loads directly to mame32, which will be upgraded to mala once I update my 600mhz computer. Oh yeah my cursor has been changed to a tiny dot, two tiny dots when thinking (instead of the hour glass). |

And if I ever do care, all I have to do is turn on the cab before people come over. I rarely have to restart the compy or anything once it is running so the only reason they know its a PC is cuz there is a keyboard around the back. |
