Slide over to "System" and choose it, then choose "Appearance", "Skin", "Settings", "General Settings". I personally liked to turn on "Enable auto scrolling for plot & review". Under the "Home window Options" tab I chose "Show music info" off, "Show weather info" on, and "Hide - Music" on. If you plan to have music files on your hard drive, then only change the weather option.
Now backup to the "International" tab and choose your "Region" for time display, and set your "Timezone country" and "Timezone" information as well. The time is displayed in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
Go back and choose the "Video" tab. Under the "Library" tab choose "Update library on Startup" and turn it on.
Under the "File lists" tab turn on "Combine split video items".
Go back and choose the "Weather" tab and select "Get more". Choose the weather service you'd like to use. I chose "Yahoo! Weather", and "Install". Click on "Weather" again and select the option you installed.
Go back and select the "Add-ons" tab. You may need to select the ".." to go back to the main list. This will grant you access to adding and changing all the add-on software that makes XBMC such a wonderful program. Go to "Services", "Watchdog", select it and choose "Install". Once it installs click on it again and choose "Configure". Under the "General" tab turn on "Scan on startup" and turn off "Hide progress of library scan/clean". Under the "Advanced" and change "Startup delay" to 90 or more seconds. Choose "OK" at the bottom.
