Hi, thanks for a nice guide, everything is working perfectly. I have a question though. When I have just XBMC.exe started up and explorer.exe is not, couldnt there be some problems with programs associated and dependable (idk if this is the right word, I mean programs and processes that can only function with explorer.exe) on explorer.exe, idk, drivers antivirus etc.? Or is this change just cosmetic and everything will work perfectly for example sound, network etc.?

I tried this with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and XBMC 10.1 for Windows and it works (at least on my system):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe"
No additional configuration or software was required.
System: IBM Thinkcentre M52 / Microsoft MCE remote.

Hey all, i currently have my laptop running XBMC and everything is running great, using my Iphone 4 as a remote, only problem so far is i have to use another programe to wake the machine, but my main issue is after i return from putting the machine to sleep, i get a black screen?, i have to reboot, or log in with VNC and as soon as i log in the XBMC screen appears, how do i stop this.
Currently just booting with shortcut.

I personally run a .cmd file of .bat file which starts xbmc and then explorer.exe. This way, xbmc starts directly after windows loads and when I exit xbmc I still get my explorer. This is the easiest way without making use of extra software like eventghost.
CoreElec on a tn95 (s905x). Onkyo NR-656. Canton Movie CD-1000. LG 55B6V.

For reasons beyond my understand the xbmc -fs method for startup won't work. It does open XBMC fullscreen then disapears to the taskbar below. I'm usin Windows 7 ultimate.
Tried using Silentlaunch but tells me I do not have a .cfg file "ERROR: No config file was found" (created using notepad) but it is there, saved on the root of my C drive.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
