Huge, huge problem.
Chukka:
How do you get them to run at startup?
EDIT: Actually I found something called XYNTService. That should do the trick.
njay:
use instantsheller from the gameex website under utilities
it even makes your mouse go away and you can add a new boot screen
smalltownguy:
speaking of boot screens, I thought I'd share my 'winners don't use drugs' bitmap
Finchbyrd:
Fantatic! Thanks for the logo. I'll add it to the folder of images that boot randomly with bootskin.

PS--on Windows XP Pro, I was able to right click on the desktop & follow through a few buttons & such till I found an option to hide all desktop icons. Strangely, I can't find it on my Win XP Home on my laptop... :dizzy:

Re-found it. It's also on Windows XP home. Very easy to do--don't recall if it's documented around here...
Simply right-click on your desktop, select Arrange Icons By, then uncheck Show Desktop Icons in the list.
Simple.
Wonder why Microsoft didn't put this in the Display control panel next to the spot where you can define which system icons show & what the icons look like...
Oh, since MaLa crashes on me every now & then, I want to have just 1 obvious MaLa shortcut on my desktop for users to find & launch. The only thing that I couldn't turn off was the Recycle Bin, so I simply replaced the empty & full recycle bin icons w/ blank ones & turned off Auto Arrange of my desktop icons & just dragged it way down to the bottom right of the screen, where the icon was hidden & the "Recycle Bin" text is off the screen.
Hooray. 8)
Thanks,
