Exit function when using big box as the windows shell

[Harcade]

Is it possible in a future update to disable the exit function in the main menu when using big box as the windows shell. The issue is when big box is in windows shell mode, if you accidently hit exit in the main menu when you are trying to shut down your machine, the screen will go black and hang. From this point the only way out is to ctrl+alt+del on a keyboard.

Thanks

If you mean the Exit mapping, you can disable that by removing the mapping under Options > Keybard/Controller Mappings

No. I mean at the bottom of the main menu in Big Box there is exit. Normally exit takes you back into Windows however when using Big Box as the Windows shell you are bypassing Windows so if you hit exit it gets lost. There may be a way to hide this from view I just havn't found it. I didn't see anything under the controller mappings to do this but I did only look quickly.

a basic one line script to run explorer.exe added in LB startup applications to run only when BB exits would solve it

Ok. I guess that would be an option.

Thank You
