Both GameEx and Maximus are free downloads and only require payment to remove nag screens etc. The best thing with FE's is to try them all out and see what you get on with.

If you're comfortable with the registry and know what you're doing its a good way to go, if you're not then go with the aforementioned startup folder method. This is quite a bit more technical, involves manipulating the system regiatry and will require your OS to be re-installed if you get it wrong. The other method is to replace the windows shell with your front-end. If you set your desktop colour to black and remove all the icons you wouldn't really know any better. The quickest and easiest route to booting straight to your front-end is to put a shortcut to the Front-ends exe into the windows startup folder so it boots as soon as windows loads. Its hands down the best looking front end available but very system hungry and if you're packing anything less than a Dual Core its not worht bothering with. If you happen to be using a really decent PC in the cab also consider Hyperspin. Mala is menu driven and easier to set up than mamewah, but once you get the hang of how mamewah works its fantastic and so easy and flexible to modify.

If you're looking for free one's then your options mainly are Mamewah (the one I use) and Mala.

Both are menu driven and simple to use, but you do have to pay for the full versions. For ease of use in terms of setting up there are a couple of shareware one's to choose from.
