Is GB-PVR a shell replacement?

[woodypvr]

I have looked into several pvr solutions, and have decided to go ahead with gbpvr. Before I buy a new computer for this, I want to do some experimenting with my current pc. When I am happy with everything, I will buy a new computer and install everything in this new computer. What is gbpvr? Is a program that is launched from the start menu or automatically at boot? I looked into talisman desktop and this is a shell replacement. When talisman comes up, your windows is that and only that. I do not want that. I still want to be able to use my computer as a computer and launch windows programs with the start menu. Can someone explain what happens or what you see when windows comes up after gbpvr is installed? How do you start gbpvr?

thanks....

gbpvr is an application, its launch just like any other app, click on a shortcut. nothing special.

so no its not a shell replacement.
