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?

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?
