You can create component that will set your application as custom shell.

Cato,

Yes, your application would start as the shell for the system. You need to
create a shell component for your application. You would have to set an
extended property to cmiShellPath to point to the location of the
executable, set the prototype in the details pane to Shell Prototype
Component, and then make the component a member of the Shells group.

There are a couple of books and an MSDN article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxpesp1/html/tchxpesp1techart.asp
that show you how to create a custom shell.

The RunOnce Request is not needed, but to answer your second question
RunOnce Request is set under the resources for the component in Component
Designer.
