boot up to MAME
Bender:
you can also shell windows xp to boot directly to the FE see this site's WIKI

How does that process affect the function of the normal use of the computer when out of the front end? Ultimately that's what I want to do is have the computer boot up right to the front end, but still have the option of closing the front end and using the internet as nomal too

OMG!!
I just read through that WIKI and may I say Holy !#@*.........I don't know how you guys are able to do some of this stuff. I think I may be better off just leaving things alone. I'm a plumber by trade which means I don't know jack about computers. lol
I built my cabinet with no troubles and I can barely navigate my way around MAMEville. It just seems to be way out of my league to dive into my computers inners and start tweaking things!
Bender:
you SHOULD set up the FE to exit to Explorer (the normal shell for XP) and your right back to your desktop, that way you can do maintenance and make changes and such too, plus whatever else you normally do on your computer
It's not hard, but I would only suggest it if you want a machine mostly dedicated MAME or games in general
There are a couple of apps in the software forum that do all that for you automatically you just check a couple of boxes
Instantsheller
Quicksheller (I like this one better, just an opinion though)
