I did a quick test run (not very thorough) and it seems it does need explorer running to run those things ... same for putting things in the startup folder on the start menu. However, there's a very simple solution to running multiple items from a batch file at once ... see here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=200441&postcount=4 Harry - Gamester17 - 2008-07-18 ghostrecon37 Wrote:now next problem is that i can't see programs plugins in program section from XBMC!?That is off-topic for this thread, please stay on topic here and start a new topic thread for that issue.

I read that, and it looks very useful. So you just replaced explorer.exe with harrysXBMCBatchFile.bat and everything works perfectly? - Gamester17 - 2008-07-18 waldo22 Wrote:Read that whole topic thread here => http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34966Harry Muscle Wrote:However, there's a very simple solution to running multiple items from a batch file at once ... see here:Thanks, Harry. - MoDe2006 - 2008-07-18 SubSense Wrote:You can also start XBMC instead of Explorer.exe (Standard windows Shell). Explorer.exe is the proces that covers the startmenu, file & folder browsing, (The explorer..). Hi, this is a very GOOD option for me but it is possible launch 3 session with the similar method ? i want launch XBMC + ANOTHER PROG + CONNECTION INTERNET. Have U the name of prog windows for the connection internet ? - MoDe2006 - 2008-08-11 zeuss-axis Wrote:REMOTEXBMC is a program for running the Xbox remote in WinXP... With REMOTEXBMC 2.0 FILE + PATCH: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Shell"="c:\xbmc\xbmc.exe" In the ini file REMOTEXBMC.ini = #AUtorun Edit and Place the autoexec.py to the folder xbmc script. - MoDe2006 - 2008-08-11 Choice 2: With REMOTEXBMC 2.0 FILE + PATCH: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "Shell"="c:\remotexbmc\remotexbmc.exe" -Update the exe "REMOTEXBMC 2.0" with the PATCH.rar -In the ini file REMOTEXBMC.ini remove # front AUtorun=C:\XBMC\XBMC.exe -Don't use the py file Optimize your windows PC ! - The-Boxhead - 2008-08-22 Okay this is a little trick i have tested. As i dont use my pc for anything else than xbmc i wanted to remove all crap that windows xp loads at startup. The ultimate way doing this is by disabling the explorer.exe shell itself. this will speed up logon time and save a lot of resources !! WARNING !! Do this at your own risk !! this can seriously render your XP useless if you dont know your way around windows. !!! This is only tested with windows XP pro ! Here is the steps: 1. Download tweakUI.exe from here http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c/a/fca6767b-9ed9-45a6-b352-839afb2a2679/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe Start the program and select autologon. Input your username and passsword. Now xp will logon automaticly. 2. Load regedit. find this key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] - select the winlogon folder then find the "shell" value. change from explorer.exe to C:\windows\go.exe 3. Download the Go shell from here http://shellcity.net/dl/go1-05full.zip Copy all the files to c:\windows then edit the startup.bat file. remove the clock.exe entry. Type in the location of your xbmc exe file. say C:\XBMC\xbmc.exe or where you got it. save the file. 4. reboot the box. 5. you should see the login screen flashes and in a few seconds XBMC is on your screen. I havent tested this for a long time but i havent found any problems so far. remote desktop works ! so if you need to do some stuff on your xbmc pc just remote to it and hit ctrl alt del to bring up the taskmanager then run say explorer to get a view of your folders etc. Please give feedback about your new experience - miamiwice - 2008-08-22 do you know if vnc will still work with this? - Djsnake - 2008-08-22 just use cccleaner (both cleaning and registry mode) and and piriform defrag... your PCs will rule again - Livin - 2008-08-22 nLite is a great way to go. It will remove the extra junk (services, etc) from XP and it will run faster then you think. This is the "safest" way for noobies. Or do lots of reading and turn off services you don't need and tweak the reg. - The-Boxhead - 2008-08-22 well disabling explorer.exe is the easiest way. and it's also easy revirsible. just boot into safemode and add Explorer.exe back to the registry again. - The-Boxhead - 2008-08-22 didnt see this topic, thanks for moving it here Btw with my method you can run whatever you like on startup from the startup.bat file if you want to run more than xbmc... |
