Now it's time to move away from the dreaded Windows shell forever!
How well does XBMCLauncher work when you use Steam also on Windows 8? I added Steam (and a few other games) to my home page with Advanced Launcher... Don't want to switch shells if it will break those...
I am not sure if it will work. Please try it yourself. There is no harm in testing the application. Just uninstall it if it is not working.

anyone using this with 2 displays... computer monitor & TV?
I use a laptop for my HTPC and my TV for display.
I have a few issues...
1) sometimes HDMI 'sync' takes a while so XBMC launches but does not display on any of the screen (laptops shows desktop / TV shows nothing)
2) XBMC runs fine on teh TV but when the TV is turned on, then on again, XBMC does not show on any of the displays, it is in the task bar on the laptop screen - minimized?
if you use it in a similar situation please let me know how it works for you and how you have your settings.
thx
I am not using a dual screen setup so don't know of a possible solution to your problem.
