Settings > Appearance > Skin > Startup Window has these options:
Home Window
Weather
Settings
File Manager
Videos
Music
Pictures
Programs
TV
... but no MOVIES?
Is there a reason for this?
More to the point, where would I go to manually add MOVIES to these choices? Looks like it's not in the skins but part of XBMC core, but I'm clueless as to where.

Sorry , I misread.
What skin are you using ?
What version of XBMC are you using ?

I am using XBMC v 12.2. (Frodo) with the reFocus skin, but I've tried confluence and several other skins, same problem
I have 165 movies in the library, and there is a MOVIES menu item on the home screen, but i've rebooted and rebuilt the library a few times just to be sure that's not the problem
Is MOVIES supposed to be an option in Settings > Appearance > Skin > Startup Window ?

Other skins have the option, but it will be within their own skin settings.

An autoexec.py file could probably do the job simply enough without modifying the skin files:
save the following as a text file called autoexec.py and place it in the
userdata (wiki) folder:
Code:
import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.ActivateWindow(myvideolibrary,movietitles)')
I think you'll see the home screen for a second, but it should at least automatically take you to the movies view.

Ah, but I cheated and googled for the py example :D
Funny enough, I found it on the XBMC Wiki, and didn't know it was there ;)
