Hi Stephane.

A while a go i asked a similar question.

What did it for me was to replace the shell (explorer) with your application. To do this in Windows 95/98, change the shell entry in the [boot] section of your system.ini file from shell=explorer.exe to shell=yourapp.exe. Your application will be loaded when the machine is booted or after you log on instead of Explorer, and there will be no Start menu.

p.s. I got the answer from ken weber.
