Very stupid AmiKIT question...

[Fingers]

Ok, I read the FAQ & Features listings on the AmiKIT site, but my answer was not there.

I don't want to register on the AmiKIT forum just to ask this silly little question, so I'm asking it here since there seem to be a lot of AmiKIT users on this board.

Once installed, does AmiKIT start up on boot? That is, I turn on the PC & once Windows is booted I'm already within the AmiKIT environment (no seeing Winblows at all)?

Ok then, so what is worthwhile about using it as opposed to just using WinUAE?

Is it just a pre-compiled Workbench installation/application collection with WinUAE included as the emulation base?

PZ.

Well in that case I am less interested now than I was couple of hours ago.

I thought maybe my dream emulation environment had arrived...one which presents itself immediately upon windows booting up.

You can simply add it as a startup item and it will start up automatically.

How do I do that? (I'm even worse with PCs than Amigas :lol:)

You can also have WinUAE replace EXPLORER.EXE as the Windows shell, but I don't recommend that.  

That sounds GREAT!!!! How do I do THAT? Why don't you recommend it? Becuase if you want to change Windows settings you no longer can?

Thanks man, but I tried X-Amiga...& could never get it to work :-(
