Issues using CF 2.0 RC1 as a system shell

OK, I'm done playing around with CF 2.0 RC1 and finally installed on my actual CarPC last night. All seems to work well except running CF as a system shell. It works fine but, the problem occurs when you try to leave CF.

On 1.48, if I "exit", it would dump me into Windows and show me my desktop. On 2.0 RC1, it just dumps me out of CF and leaves me with a blank wallpaper and an arrow...no desktop, no Start menu. I have to give it the three-finger salute and select "shutdown" to get the PC back up.

On 1.48, if I "shutdown" from CF, it shuts the machine down. On 2.0 RC1, it does the same as above; just exits CF and leaves me at a blank wallpaper.

Also,

Question #1....how do you permanently enable advanced settings when running as a system shell? I have it in my desktop shortcut but, I don't usually run CF from there; it just comes up with the machine boots.

Question #2...is there a plan to port the Calc plug-in for CF 2.0? I really liked that and I think I'm going to miss it.

Sorry...just found a thread that talks about these problems, the problems have been found, and fixed in the next release.

But, my two questions still stand...if anyone knows.

The Calc plugin should work in 2.0, just not the installer, need to copy the Plugin folder over to the new 2.0 and it should work...

in the next update if you start Centrafuse while advsettings is set, then choose run as shell, it will copy all your parameters properly...

still looking why it would not load the shell on exit, this code should still be working...

I was also having some issues running as system shell. I have a couple applications that run at start up (Itunes, Sprint Connection Manager, etc.). CF starts up just fine right after windows boots up however once the startup apps start launching they open up right over CF sometimes blocking the entire screen. Is there a way to run CF over the top of all other windows while in shell mode?
