Steps to modify your registry to boot to Objectdock instead of explorer
RUN: REGEDIT
Follow path: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Look for key SHELL
Modify value: C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\ObjectDock.exe"Note: I originally intended for PC to load OBJECTDOCK as a service and boot directly to Freebox thus proviing the OBJECTDOCK interface when exiting Freebox, so far however I have not been succesfull in making OBJECTDOCK run as a service, so I have PC booting to OOBJECTDOCK and from there you must select FREEBOX (as shown in figure 2)
If you wish PC to boot directly to freebox replace above green line with:Modify value: C:\Program Files\Freebox V2\freebox.exe(Figure 1) This is what my jukebox looks like when it is booting(Figure 2) This is what my jukebox PC looks like once fully bootedOnce everything is set and done your entire installation should be less than 1 GB and you jukebox should run much, much faster
