RE: Winamp as Startup
-dt-, chris, Scone... WinME uses registry version 4 and that is:

code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"winamp"="C:\\Program Files\\winamp\\winamp.exe"


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 is only used in NT-based Windows like XP, Windows Server 2003, etc... And this version 5 CAN read version 4 registry files, but version 4 can NOT read version 5 registry files...

So, this is also a tip for when you want to export your registry files (to include in the plugin setup or something), export them to version 4 registry files, so that people which use WinME etc, also can use them!!!

Note that im using WinME not XP.
Putting winamp (or any other thing for that matter) in your startup folder does work on all Windows versions....
