I replaced my shell with notepad and got 2 instances of it.
Also, I notice the time it takes to logon is really long... At first I
tought it was because of my app.. but it's the same with notepad so I begin
to suspect something is deeply wrong with this image

Come to think of it, I tried before using only the CMD Shell with my
previous image to test a few thing and it loaded twice too!!!

I've managed to get myself confused now...
What can cause this?

On FBA there's:

Silent DX9.0c + managed extensions setup
Silent ATI IGP chipset setup
Silent LAN Driver setup
Silent Sound Card driver setup
Silnet .NET 2.0 Framework Beta setup.

The Image is mostly based on Advanced Set-top Box
