Get MAMEWAH, best FE there is, i use it with over 9 EMUs and can even play PC games that dont need keyboard and launch DivX and VCDs from it.

Oh ya and one of the options when exiting is shutdown, or even restart.

check it out. its awesome and i bet the next release will be even cooler.

I want it to have to shut down on exit.  I dont want a choice in the matter at all.  Is that possible

well its not really a hassle all you do it bring up the menu and pick shutdown, its in the same place you would go to exit the frontend so its not difficult to reach.

I just want it to be mandatory.

severeal fe's do this...mine does (exitcomp|true| in cfg\fe.cfg)...dk does...probably more...

you could also use a batch file that launches the fe and the when the fe exits launchers one off those small programs that exit windows...you could also use autoit to make your own...http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/

This should help.  Just start you FE in a .bat file and add the shutdown command after it.  Here's a link to some usefull Win commands: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/shutdown.html

Hope that helps.  It works for me.
