Is there a way to make the movies tab the only tab. So lets say, I start the XBMC, I want it to go strait to movies and not be able to go back to the main page.
Is that at all possable?

not without modifying the skin.
the best you can do is set the startup window in 'settings > appearance > skin > startup window'

replace the contents of Startup.xml and Home.xml with:
Code:
<window>
    <onload>ReplaceWindow(Videos,movietitles)</onload>
</window>

You can always use a skin that has Home menu customization features build into Settings... like AEON NOX, AEON MQ4 and several others.

I'm not an expert but I play one at work.
