help with external apps config

[simbamame]

hi guys, im using GameEx's External Applications to run a few windows applications

When i set these up with some it lauches the applications and returns back to the apps menu, if i press the windows key the app is there running, how do i get it to switch, i have tried setting show desk to yes and no and still no joy.

Also on a side note how can you make the set up wizard show a smaller font as default i have made smaller using the icons buttons but when i return its back to being large?.

Perhaps it doesn't save settings in the XML file?

How are you launching your programs? Lnk or directly from the exe?

Hmm. Can you give me an example of one that doesn't? I launch a few proggies this way and they all work fine for me.

minecraft and sims 3 are 2 that dont, notepad and winuae work fine, so its not a case of them being ran from the c:directory.

Im using winuae from there as i only play 1 game lol.

Do they load a splash screen or something? For games you should set them up as am emu and use the lnk method instead. Greater flexibility and all.

They run fine its just i need to press the windows screen to show it, although i did notice with mine-craft it flashed the load screen for a millisecond, i did try using the ink method and setting as emulator but couldn't quite get my head round it, maybe i`ll give it another try.

You know what they say if at first don't succeed get a mod to remote in and sort it lol.
