Windows HOW-TO make XBMC for Windows boot as a Shell in Full Screen (the easy way)

The only thing is:
1) I want XBMC to load to fullscreen when the cpu starts (which it does thanks to the guide)
2) I still want to be able to press \ and put XBMC into window mode so I can use my cpu as normal, which when I do now is just a black screen with nothing on it

So I want it it to boot straight into the XBMC shell but also have the explorer shell startup but remain hidden until I shrink XBMC

Is there anything that can do this?

If you want to have full Windows functionality available, this would be the way I'd do it:
- drop a shortcut to XBMC into your startup group
- set the windows taskbar to auto-hide
- set the desktop background to black
- hide your desktop icons

This would make it look like XBMC is the shell, but still give you the "\" option you were looking for

Used this shell way too, worked perfectly, but have to install aeon skin (which isnt available inside xbmc...)
So i have to download it manually but i cant access windows anymore
I get a black screen also

Try my XBMCLauncher.
