[QUOTE="dA.oOZe, post: 300748, member: 45999"] I am using MP as shell since I started with my first HTPC about 2 years ago. It is running like a charm, except of the common problems related to MP itself. One thing you should keep in mind is, that some default autostart stuff might not work, as it is fired only when using explorer.exe as shell. So some background tasks might not run causing the system to behave unexpected or loosing some functionality. But there are other ways to start programs in the background before MP is startet. "Scripted login" sounds like such a way. The result is a system that consumes less memory, as explorer.exe doesn't run in the background - it's unneeded anyway. I'd recommend to replace the default shell with MP, at least on a dedicated HTPC! [/QUOTE]
