On a standalone computer it is very handy to use Resuscitator for Windows as a Startup Group replacement. This means that all entries in the Startup Group are defined as applications in Resuscitator and replaced by one shortcut to Resuscitator for Windows.

The Resuscitator in the startup group will normally use the following commandline options:

resuscitator shutdown.ini –hide

With this command line all applications defined in the ini-file will be started and resuscitator will hide itself.

A sample ini-file "shutdown.ini" is included on the distribution disk. In the ini-file the following applications are defined with their setup:

• Shutdown – enabling remote shutdown of the server
• Server Control Panel – FindResuscitator used as a local server control panel
• Resuscitator Client Program – included as an example

With the AutoLogon feature it is possible to extend Resuscitator not only to be a Startup replacement but to be a Shell replacement. This means that Resuscitator is replacing the explorer shell. See an example from the System Configuration dialogue.
