Also, from another user:

Quote
Go to Start, Run. and type in "notepad C:\windows\system.ini". when it opens you'll see a line called [boot] slightly under that you'll find a line that says "shell = explorer.exe" or something to that effect, replace explorer.exe with the path to your MameWAH executable. Reboot. And enjoy.

I would note, however, that Windows expects to find the executables in the windows folder, which means you'll have to have your software and all of its support files there. No big deal if you're running a stripped-down OS.
