[QUOTE="~ok|, post: 74460"] yes, of course. This manipulation is not endorsed in anyway by the MP team. Some people had strange DirectX issues when getting rid of explorer.exe while others enjoyed a rock-stable system. A matter of luck or karma maybe. It is however not really dangerous (unlike using MinLogon). If you want to try this manipulation, it is really advised to have more than one Windows account. If something really bad happens, then you'll be able to use the other user account to easily replace the original explorer.exe entry in the registry. In a word, this app could be entirely replaced by the use of DOS batch files, no voodoo magic herein. If you want to use scriptedlogon in order to replace explorer.exe then it's rather a matter of getting rid of any visible trace of Windows when you run MediaPortal. Much alike a standalone DVD player, when you power it on you don't want to know which microOS it runs and go straight to your DVD content without any external manipulation.
