Is there a way to force Win2K to boot directly into a program on startup with no user intervention, and when the user quits the program, have the box automatically shut itself down?

Thanks,
K

You can change the shell in the registry to be that of the application you wish to run. I do not, however, know how to automatically shut the computer down when the program closes.

How about putting a batch file in the startup folder... The batch file could run the program and then call shutdown.
