Is there a logonshell for mediaportal like the one for XBMC?

I want to start mediaportal directly without having to see Windows explorer.

    I did not find any good information with the above tip/links.
    Litestep sounds interesting, but in a thread in this forum from last year someone writes about problems when using litestep.

    Is there a way to get MP running with litestep without problems? Anybody have a tutorial or similar? ;)

    Yes thats why I suggested to search the Forum

    search Titles in the forum for "shell"

    As I said there are posts on how to do this.

    If you had looked, you would have found

    https://www.team-mediaportal.com/manual/GeneralUserGuides/HTPC_looknfeel?highlight=(shell)

    And several other methods.

    In any case, a well set up s3 system will mean the machine will do instant-on into the MP interface with no need to boot with any degree of regularity. Ive never quite fathomed why people go the shell replacement route but I guess if you're switching the machine off and on you may save some boot-time not loading explorer.exe

    On my machine I hit the power button and it resumes from s3 in about 5 seconds flat - straight into MP. No time is spent loading explorer.exe as its already loaded.
