Win XBMCLauncher / Launcher4Kodi - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more
(2013-03-09, 19:57)DrFox Wrote: After putting XBMC user back to Standard level I still have some problems that cannot resolve:
1) Restart/Sleep/Shutdown options that are installed to the Start menu do not work. They just show desktop and do nothing else. If I say "run as admin" on them - they work just fine. BTW menu items from Add-Cascading-Power-Menu-in-Desktop-Context-Menu.zip work just fine for that standard user.
2) From standard XBMC Shutdown menu if I use anything other than Exit - it closes XBMC and does not go neither to Start menu, nor starts and explorer, just shows black screen. If I try to start Task Manager (with Ctrl+Shift+Esc) - it will of course ask for admin credentials and if I start "explorer.exe" from Task manager - explorer will be executed under admin user profile and a lot of interesting side affects will be happening (like screen saver with password - of course I do have it for Admin account!) and write access to my media library (which XBMC user does not have).
3) Power submenu in desktop context menu stays empty after the install. So I had to uninstall it and use your Add-Cascading-Power-Menu-in-Desktop-Context-Menu.zip which works like a charm.
4) "Win" button is not recognized by windows under XBMC user. Not sure if this is related to XBMC launcher, but I don't have any other software that installs any keyboard shortcuts. So, under XBMC user I cannot access Start screen at all unless I start explorer under Admin.

Any advice on how to solve these problems? Huh


1. The application needs administrator privilege to run correctly. Since you are using a standard account, it may not function. Creating a shortcut of these buttons and enabling the 'run as admin' option in properties may help.

2, 3. This again is due to non administrator account.

4. Try after closing xbmclauncher and see if Win key functions normally.

1) Make XMBC tray app menu cascading - it has so many (very useful) options that they don't fit on the display in 720p mode and some NVidia video cards have an overscan problem with some displays which makes it impossible to see top and bottom scrolling arrows of that tall menu.
2) Add a keyboard shortcut to launch explorer if it is not started yet. For instance, standard Win+E which launches File Explorer if "explorer.exe" is already running.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Very good suggestions. I will add these features in next version. Thanks.
