Dan,

You don't need to use the app_faker at all. As long as the Chromium
opengl32.dll is chosen for the application startup, you can rule out
app_faker just as you can on other platforms.

You are probably best to read the autostart document in the Chromium
documentation to get you going. Which explains the Windows route to
application starting.
