Clear description of the problem:
Hello, can X-Mouse autostart in a disabled mode? I want to use it in certain program and keep forgetting it is already active after booting the PC. I want it to be on but not active unless I activate the desired layer.

Urm, I'm not 100% sure.
There is a command line argument "/Disable" which disables XMBC if its already running - I'm not sure if that will disable it on startup if its not already running - it might do, probably worth a try. If it does then you can modify the startup shortcut (which is probably in the registry) to add that argument.

But why? If you leave the default profile and layer set to "nothing don't intercept" for all actions, thats pretty much the same thing is it not?

I must confess I am a novice and not familiar with editing the setup or more than basic editing of the desired effect. To me it seemed a logical choice to have it start either active or inactive upon boot up, per tick box preferably, Basically a choice made available when setting up a layer.

Well OK I understand (sort of)... That is not possible, except as I said, if the default layer has everything set to "Nothing (Don't Intercept)" (the default) then the mouse will be unchanged unless you switch layers, which is effectively the same as disabling XMBC until you switch layers is it not? (Am I missing something?)

You are right, having Layer 1 unconfigured would have the desired effect. I'll reset the config to layer 2 and then activate Now I feel like a doofus.
