Great. Thanks for confirming that it works on Win7 64 now. Thanks Nimo for that suggestion.

I'm now typing that topic on customizing Windows 7 boot skins, animation etc. I will post a link here once it is completed.

ah cool, nice to hear that it helps. x64 systems needs full path name from file and the path name where they should execute because they are a little bit stupid. Smile

cheers

ps: now i try customizing windows (im anxious about x64 Smile )

baijuxavior,
Would yo be able to add 2 features...

1) allow user to launch XBMC on a specific display (desktop, display 2, etc)
2) watchdog to ensure XBMC stays on that specific display -- like you do to check focus

... this would allow me, and other, to once again reliably use XBMC on a 2nd display.

thx for the great tool

Unfortunately, I don't have a dual monitor setup, so I can't test the script. But you can download the latest tool from elitegamer360. He has added the feature you are looking for. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=78179&pid=1173558#pid1173558. You can integrate this code into xbmclauncher by editing the xbmclauncher.ahk file in the source code giving credit to EG.

I have never tested this. But IMO, it should work. You can try it and post your observations.

I have done som testing now on both my clients. It's working as usual without the explorer. But I have changed it back to windows shell again, because without explorer I can't use unified remote as a mouse when on the web. Is there anyway to bypass that?

Every lag are gone with this fantastic launcher when resume from sleep. Big Grin

Sorry. I have no experience with unified remote. Is it an android remote app?

I'm trying to make a tool that control server standby with connected clients. When I'll finish it you can add to your tools, if you want

Yes it's for Android, it's a a remote server program to install on your pc and your android phone, then you can use your phone as a mouse with right tab and every thing. I'm using it, when using advance launcher for the web. So I can surf without any mouse or keyboard. But it seems like the server program can't launch without explorer.

So now I'm back with the old problem, that sometimes my client in the livingroom will start up from sleep without any sound, and a reboot is required. (AMD card, many have that trouble). In the bedroom with the nvidia card I never experience that problem. Confused

But if I use the XBMC shell, I allways have sound in the livingroom at least the week I tested it.

Offcourse I could use a regular mouse, but that's is not very WAF. Big Grin And my girlfriend would hate it.

I'm not sure if anything can be done, because I don't know anything about scripting or makeing batchfiles.

If explorer is needed for that app to work correctly, then we can do nothing but to use the explorer as shell.
