I myself would like to personaly kick-off the new htpc forum with a bit of a more advenced question than "What is an HTPC?"
I am using myhtpc. I get it to "autorun" by placing it in the startup portion of win98. This, however, waits to load windows, watching it load the desktop and icons, then it runs myhtpc. It all makes it look a bit disjointed as an htpc.
I was wondering if there is any way to make it a little more seamless?
I don't care if it loads windows, I could always change the loading screen if I felt up to it.
The only problem I see is that it doesn't look like myhtpc was designed for this kind of use. I haven't found a shutdown command or other integral options to run more "by itself". I still rely on standard windows to do those things.
