NT5????? Would that include MS Windows Server 2003 (a.k.a NT5.2)?

Also, have you heard of WinFellow (X86 targeted platform)?

t the very "beginner" end, for example I am going to have single button configuration for every Amiga machine as released in the UK. I.e. Click "A500" and you get OCS, 2Mb, etc. You get the idea

One could create/bolt-on a Microsoft style configuration wizard for WinUAE (e.g. refer to Windows Server 2003 for near idiot proof wizards as examples).

Alternatively, one could bolt-on a hush pattern recognition feature** (i.e. hush pattern is generated from  ADF disk images) that automatically selects the right Amiga configuration for the said ADF disk images).  

For example;
1. User click on  .ADF file (e.g. Battle_Squadron.adf)  via window’s shell,
2. Launches the emulator application.
3. Emulator application compares ADF disk image’s hush pattern with it’s hush pattern database. The database is user configurable.      
4. IF hush pattern matching is successful then automatically selects the right configuration and  boots the emulator with the said ADF file.
