look people, XBMC IS NOT A SHELL, PROBABLY WILL NEVER BE A SHELL. So having it be a (pretend to be) shell replacement is just going to remove some of windows funcunatilty since xbmc can't open programs in it natively. (meaning without the use of the plugin, an experimental one at that) When you fullscreen a video game it is not a shell replacement. This is basically the same thing.
Now what you CAN do is use a lightweight replacement shell with it. BBLean (http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/) is a very decent lightweight shell. And you can set XBOX to boot using an autorun editor (tons of those on the net) or moving the program to the startup folder. I imagine in the full version of xbmc for windows there will be either some type of plugin that will let it autorun or a script that does it, but for now this is a temporary solution.
Though before you do ANYTHING, do some research. You might come up with an even better solution than me.
