- Actually, I'd suggest HAZEL. It has a few warts, but it has GFA source
- code included, and it allows selection of desktop.inf and assign.sys
- files, as well as auto folder programs and desk accs. And nicest of all,
- it only activates if you hold down left-shift while booting. Otherwise
- it assumes your setup is fine as-is.
-
- Of course, you'll still need Headstart if you want to autorun a program
- but that's all right - I prefer several smaller programs to one big one.
