Like Silver just said, that article in the WIKI on hiding windows is a great resource for doing exactly what you want.  If you follow those instructions, it will work like a charm.   when i set up my cabinet, i wired an arcade pushbutton to the PC motherboard where the power button connects.  i purchased a Sears auto switch for $20.  that turns the lights and speakers on/off when the PC turns on/off.  then i followed the isntructions in the wiki and everything works great.  people have no idea that is is just a simple PC running windows xp in there.  everything powers up with the push of a button, and shuts down via the same button. or from an option in the front end.

I used MALA for my front end because it was easy to set up and easy to customize the appearance to my liking.

good luck and have fun
