Thanks, this may seem stupid, but i'm not sure how to create a command line option, that will start when windows starts. Would u be able to give me a step by step guide?
Thanks
Hi srodda,
If you have XP:
- Use explorer to open c:\program files\silverjuke.
- right-click (EDITED, THIS ORIGINALLY READ RIGHT-DRAG) silverjuke.exe, select "copy"
- In your start menu choose all programs -> startup menu, RIGHT-click this menu, choose "open"
- rightclick in the startup menu window which just opened, choose "paste shortcut"
- rightclick the shortcut which appeared, choose "properties"
- in the Target field, after .exe" put --kiosk
- click OK, close the startup menu window
Phew. I think this covers it as long as you follow it to the letter. This should do the trick, silverjuke now starts in kioskmode every time the computer boots.

I still didn't upgraded any computer to Vista (or Windows 7) so I am not really sure, but my guess would be you left out the space between .exe and --kiosk?

Thanks for the reply
i have tried with space and no luck
it says
the name specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct

OK, here is XP screenshot of a working shortcut (in the default international installation path) for you:
If this is really different from a Vista shortcut I am out of my depth, like I said my Vista experience is limited to about 10 minutes since it's release.

Thanks for that, I had the talking marks in. The wrong spot
it now accepts it, however it still isn't opening in kiosk, is there other settings that need changeing ?

Are you sure, you really appended --kiosk
With two starting minus characters?
