Hi
Great program this has solved so many headaches I have had with sleep and Gotham.
However when I installed this the CLOSE button on my remote does not close to desktop anymore, which it did in the past and it was really handy. It now brings up a shutdown menu with the only real option to Shut Down PC (AEON MQ5 Skin)
Is there any way to get Close to act as it did in the past?
Using a VRC-1100 remote that I have found over the years does a great job.

Feature Request: Is it possible to... going to XBMCLauncher Shell every exit? For example I exit XBMC and launch explorer with WIN+E for doing maintenance duties. Then I go back to XBMC for normal use but when I exit the Explorer Shell remains.
Also a XBMCLauncher button for launching Explorer shell would be great.

Many thanks for the response. I tried the MCE remote mapper and it still pops up the shutdown menu.
To test it out I tried the keyboard, and Alt F4 pops up the same menu! The only way I can come out of XBMC is via Exit on the Shutdown menu, (which I normally have hidden) or by CTRL ALT DEL and shutting the task from task manager.
I am so close to having the HTPC behaving how I want! Now it wakes from sleep fine, but when people want to Skype or use FBook it will cause problems among the less technically minded in my household!
Is there anything else I can try?

Great program,
Is there a way to show a custom background (or even better turn the screen off) when I shut down xbmc into XBMCLauncher shell? As it is now I have the machine to sleep after x minutes when idle (for making sure no background tasks is running), it is only showing a black screen when XBMC have exit but you can still see that it is on.

By editing the script file you can switch off the display or display a custom image.
