I installed this a little bit ago and didn't really need it so I uninstalled it. Ever since my computer keeps opening the file explorer at startup which I know was an option in this program. has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

Is there a way to pass command line arguments to programs that are started alongside Kodi? (i.e. Steam) I searched the forum but the last post I had found on the subject was from 2 years ago when it was said that it wasn't possible at the time, but that feature may be added in the next version.
What I'd like to so is start Steam with the "-silent" switch alongside Kodi. Right now Steam opens up after Kodi and places its window on top of the Kodi window, since it can't start with the -silent switch.

Try to start a batch that will start steam with - silent. Could work.

I tried this again as kodi keeps losing focus on my new machine. But no matter what I select with this running, my external player plays for a few seconds and Kodi steals the focus back until I disable Launcher for Kodi. I checked permanently disable focus, I tried every combination of focus on kodi and external player and the result was always the same. Anyone else have this issue?
EDIT: is there a way to set this to fix the issues with KODI focus after Jarvis 16.0? After Jarvis 16.0 Kodi loses focus and minimizes when returning from external player. I tried the focus options currently and either I'm not doing it right or they won't do what I'm trying to do.

I see that there is a new (XBMC Foundation) version of Kodi you can install from the Windows store that has the ability to upgrade to new major versions without (re)installing. Therefore there isn't an ,exe file.....is there a way to use Launcher4Kodi with it? Anyone tried it/know?

Hi,
I've just installed Launcher4Kodi (windows 10, Kodi17 beta 1). I've set kodi to start at windows startup. If I use Launcher4kodi as the shell, then it works fine. However there are various other programs (e.g. utorrent) that then don't get launched at startup, so I've left explorer as the shell. However then kodi doesn't start at startup.
Any ideas how I troubleshoot why launche4kodi isn't starting kodi when not set as shell?
Thanks!

I have Launcher4Kodi installed under Win10, and have a problem. I'd set it up to launch Kodi as the shell, AND to prevent it from losing focus, AND to launch Explorer.exe when Kodi exits.
However, that last option isn't working. If I exit Kodi, Explorer doesn't launch. I'm left with a blank window, and the only option is to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and log out. But as soon as I log back in, Kodi starts up. So I seem to be locked into a Catch-22 where I can't access Explorer in order to change the settings of Launcher4Kodi to give me my shell back.
Any suggestions? If I uninstall it, will it reinstall the shell? Or will I be screwed?

So, I have been using this for some time but under Win10 it slowly is getting worse in terms of focus etc. As such I am switching to the EvenGhost approach -- however, for some reason I can not figure out why the 'Shell' registry entry under winlogin can not be changed. Even Launch4Kodi can not update it any more. If I delete it, it returns. If I rename it, it goes back. If I change the value, it reverts to the Launch4Kodi exe. Help anyone? Seems like something somewhere keeps changing it back -- or it never really gets changed in regedit. I have removed and reinstalled Lauch4Kodi to no avail.
