Launching at startup.

[joie]

Hi there;

I want to launch a program when eventghost is launched at startup (without any key or button pressed needed), can that be done?, how?.

Thank's.

You can add action "Start Application" (see folder "System") into your configuration tree.
You have two options:
1) Macro with this action you can put into the branch Autostart
2) Macro with this action you can place anywhere and run it through the event "Main.OnInit"

Wich method do you prefer the most?.

I want to replace windows shell with instantSheller so it will launch eventghost instead. Then I want eventghost to launch "telebision" automatically at startup...

Into Autostart not possible to insert a macro, but only a action.
I prefer to use a macro and therefore to the method 2.
Into macro you can add any number of different events,
so you can run the same action on the motion from different sources (such as the keyboard and the remote control).

This is a bit offtopic, but..

I was wondering how come people want to replace their shell with XBMC (or telebision in your case) ? Whats the advantage compared to starting XBMC from the registry or from programs/startup? Won't it make using the normal windows tools like explorer a bit more difficult?

The advantage of using something like instantsheller to star telebision at the startup is that you in fact don't even star windows shell at all,so you have more cpu and ram to your needs.
