Program Executer Plugin:

I tried using this then realized that if you're able to skin and want a exe to launch from the main dir, just use System.Exec or System.ExecWait. Works great with *.exe and *.bat, so far.

Can you explain that?

He is talking the python command which can be used from almost anywhere within xbmc (skin, key, addons)

Yep, I use it in my skin but it only works if no spaces are in the path.

Launch games from the "programs menu". Like on XBOX:

I try to use this to launch HuluDesktop (although I would prefer a link in the main menu). HuluDesktop launches fine, but doesn't have focus. Which means that I first have to click on it in order to get my remote to work. Does anybody know an attribute I can assign so this happens automatically?
