Really, you have to have Windows load before anything happens. The TinyXP's are basically very stripped down versions of XP where you dont have to wait for certain drivers or programs to load at start up.

I think what the original question should have been is "What will make my jukebox boot straight into the jukebox program without seeing all the windows stuff"?? Instantsheller is a good program for what you want.

The only bad thing about TinyXP's is that alot of computers have specific drivers (sound-video-etc) and if you didnt include your specific drivers while making your TinyXP version, then you basically wasted your time. Just because you got your version of TinyXP from a torrent or buddy, doesnt mean your drivers were included when they compiled their version.

just my $.02
