To get rid of the startup and shutdown messages, enter regedit (Start>Run>Type "regedit" without the quotes.). Using the tree on the left, browse through to the following entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Policies>System

If there's a DisableStatusMessages dword there, change it to 1, otherwise add it (right click, add dword) and change it to 1.

Now you'll have to change the background colour of the login screen. Even though you've disabled the login, the screen will still load up in blue as it laoding the personal settings. Again, this is a registry hack like before. Browse to the following entry:

HKEY_USERS>.DEFAULT>Control Panel>Colors>Background

The default value of this is an RGB value. For the sake of ease, if you change this to 0 0 0, you will get a black screen.

While you're in regedit, here's the final hack:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look for a string entry called 'Shell'. If it is not there, create a string entry and name it 'Shell'. Set the value of this entry to the name and location of your Front-end. For Dragon King, the shell entry may be "C:\MAME\The Dragon King.exe" or wherever your Frontends executable is located. To repair this if anything happs, bbot via safe mode, go into regedit, and change this value to "explorer.exe". When you reboot, you will find that you enter windows, and not your frontend! Simple!
