Hello,
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and XBMC 10.0 final version.
I want to start XBMC in full screen mode, but -fs switch does not work. Is there any other command line option to start in full screen mode?
Thanks

Press \ to switch between fullscreen and windowed. XBMC remembers how it was last used and starts in the same way. The windowed/fullscreen state is saved in guisettings.xml somewhere.

Thanks for replies. But I know these options. I want to start xbmc in full screen, even last time I set it in window mode. And I don't want to be have to press Alt+Enter or \ key to have full screen mode. I just want xbmc starts in full screen mode on every conditions.
Thanks

I don't know of any way to force XBMC to start in full screen mode. The -fs option stopped working at some point between 9.04 and 9.11.

I don't know of any command line parameters - but here's a possible solution.
I'm guessing you might have someone else who might hit the \ button inadvertantly.
Why not use keymapping to do away with \ completely, and then use default behavior of XBMC of remembering its last state?
Then, the only way it can be changed to windowed state is if someone deliberately goes through all the directories into Settings, and toggles it there.
