One of the complaints we received from MP-1 is that to configuration was way to difficult
Our goal for MP-II is simple: users install MP-II and immediatly can start using it.

To achieve that we made some choices

1) ALL basic settings should be easy configurable from within MP-II
Think of folders, codecs, fullscreen, skin,theme,language,...

2) settings for advanced users can be configured from an external application
Think of views, viewmappings, menu editting,...

Now we all know this 'external' configuration application doesnt exist yet, its work in progress
and is planned for the next release called Haiti
But when its done you can change all settings (basic & advanced) from the external config app

Now for those people who dont want certain settings to be available from within MP-II
The configuration application will allow you edit each menu. So you
- can simply remove those menu entries to settings you dont want to be available from within MP-II
- you can put those menu entries every where you like (home menu or in settings screen or...)
