I think you selected the option to install mce registry during the installation. You can open the XBMCLauncher application folder from the app. There will be a backup registry file. Double click it to merge with the registry, then restart the PC. Another option is to uninstall xbmclauncher and reinstall and this time uncheck the option to install mce.

I'm pretty sure that i don't have selected this option..
anyway i tried both methods you suggest without result

Use showkey.exe to findout what keypress these buttons are sending. If they are sending the same key, then mce code need to change. If they send different keys then check the keyboard.xml file and replace the commands accordingly.

Recently, Avast shows the file backup.exe as a suspicious file. This is a false detection and those who have doubts can view the source code. This file is used to take backup of mce registry code.

EDIT: solved
I don't why, but keymap file was missing
RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - anarchoi - 2013-04-14
Is there a way to set XBMCLauncher to run XBMC as administrator ?
If XBMC isn't started as administrator i get an error from "XBMC Advanced Wake On LAN" addon because it needs admin rights for a specific feature.
RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - baijuxavior - 2013-04-15
Option 1. Try running XBMCLauncher in administartor mode.
Option 2. Edit the XBMCLauncher.ahk file in source code and add a 'RunAs' option before the Run commands. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/RunAs.htm
RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - anarchoi - 2013-04-15
1. XBMCLauncher autoruns with windows 8 so i don't think i can make it start automatically in administrator mode
2. i don't know how to edit the source code and recompilate it
is it possible to release a compiled version of XBMCLauncher with admin mode on ?Thanks a lot

Editing and compiling .ahk file is very easy. Download and install autohotkey_l from the link provided in the first page. Download the source code and extract using winrar. Open the xbmclauncher.ahk file in notepad. Notepad++ is recommended. Change the code
Code:
LaunchApplication(AppPath) ; function to start applications
{
SplitPath, AppPath, FileName ;get filename without path
Process, Exist, %FileName% ; check to see if 'FileName' is running
If (ErrorLevel = 0) ;if not running
{
if FileExist(AppPath)
{
if (FileName = "XBMC.exe" and StartPortable = 1)
run %AppPath% -p
else
run %AppPath%
}
Else
{
;traytip, Message, %AppPath% not found, 5, 1
}
}
Else ; file already running
{
;traytip, Message, %FileName% already running, 5, 1
}
}Code:
LaunchApplication(AppPath) ; function to start applications
{
SplitPath, AppPath, FileName ;get filename without path
Process, Exist, %FileName% ; check to see if 'FileName' is running
If (ErrorLevel = 0) ;if not running
{
if FileExist(AppPath)
{
if (FileName = "XBMC.exe" and StartPortable = 1)
{RunAs, Administrator, YourPassword
run %AppPath% -p
RunAs
}
else
{RunAs, Administrator, YourPassword
run %AppPath%
RunAs
}
}
Else
{
;traytip, Message, %AppPath% not found, 5, 1
}
}
Else ; file already running
{
;traytip, Message, %FileName% already running, 5, 1
}
}After making the necessary changes, save the file. Then right click the .ahk file and select the option 'compile' which will create XNMCLauncher.exe in the same location. Replace the existing .exe file in program folder using this new one.
Please note, I have not tested this method. But it should work as given in the autohotkey help page. If no luck, let me know, I will upload the code to pastebin so that you can copy paste it.

***noob alert***
I have XBMC window's version currently installed on my Win8 HTPC. Do i need to uninstall this before using this cool application, or just install the latest version of XBMCinstaller alongside it?
I have read up but post#1 doesn't make this clear.
RE: XBMCLauncher - All in One Tool for Change Shell, Set Focus and more - baijuxavior - 2013-04-15
No need to uninstall XBMC. Just install XBMCLauncher.

***Another Noob Alert****
So I have this (XBMCLauncher) installed and running nicely as a shell on windows
However there are a few other apps I wish to run like utorrent and googlesync. When I add utorrent to start as an external application it fails to start, but when I use it to replace xbmcOnIMon it works. Whats the dirrerence? Also when I add googlesync to start as an external application it also fails to start.Any help appreciated.
