Yes, the windows shell explorer.exe doesn't do much when you take it off the system. The XP OS is still fully functional, I've never used road runner but as long as it has a launch feature to enable you to launch pre-installed 3rd party applications you should be fine.
As far as HORM is concerned none of the current Front Ends will support it because its so new. I know that in my front end I'm supporting it and I think SForioto is designing a front end that will support it I'm probably not going to release my front end simply because I wont be able to provide support for the front end itself.
EDIT: this is an update, I think that RoadRunner supports HORM now. YAY!
