is it possible to ,on a windows box, use the altshell boot.ini param to make a computer boot into a free media center app like media portal?

the easiest way to do that would prolly be to but the app in the Startup folder that's in your start menu...or just use MythTV...i've tried all the cheap/free media center applications for Windows and i haven't found a single good one...and i LOVE my MythTV box, it was really easy to setup with KnoppMyth (which i should update) and the system requirements are VERY light...a friend of mine has one that he even records HD on and all he has i a 1.1GhZ P4, 512MB of RAM and about 250GB of HD space and it runs beautifully.
