[Windows] How can i run background apps when i have XBMC as shell? - Munkee915 - 2010-08-03

So i used the method outlined here by Robbio85 to load XBMC up as my shell instead of explorer. really happy with it so far. Just that i came upon a stumbling block i cant figure out. i want to use xpadder to use my 360 control as a mouse and game controller for my emulators, but with XBMC as my shell, i cant launch background apps. Does anybody have any ideas on getting something like this to work? Maybe not just w/ xpadder but to launch any background app like daemon tools w/o using the explorer shell?
