My god you're helpful.

@carvedeye:

There are a few ways to get WinUAE to run at startup.

1) Copy the Start Menu shortcut to the Programs\Startup Folder. This is the easiest method.

2) Create a text file with the following:

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"WinUAE"=C:\\Program Files\\WinUAE\\WinUAE.exe"  -parameters

Save it to your desktop as WinUAE.reg, then right click it and select import. Copy the parameters from your Start Menu shortcut.

To run WinUAE as a destop replacement requires method 2, Google for the registry key to edit.

If you are unsure about any of the instructions, use method 1.

Could be interesting having two win partitions one for winuae exclusive and another for daily usage

That's probably a good idea.

Then again, if you need full Windows desktop too, then why not just run WinUAE from a desktop shortcut when you need it? That's way faster than rebooting the system.

By having 2 partitions, you can have a complete Windows and desktop on one, and a minimal install made with nLite on the other. That way you have full compatibility on the Windows side, and a faster and more efficient emulation environment on the other.

Rebooting Windows isn't the chore people claim it to be, if you apply some knowledge, time and effort. My XP boots very quickly, and shuts down in seconds. That's because I took the time to tailor it to my needs, instead of just installing from an OEM disc.

Would you like a badge for that?

Sure. Would you like me to smash it into your face?
