[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1158306, member: 17766"] Found a simple way of minimizing Mediaportal to the tray (or forcing it to close) by using EventGhost, if anyone finds it useful the instructions are below: - First in Eventghost create a named Event like this for example: [ATTACH=full]170988[/ATTACH] which finds the mediaportal.exe proces and closes Mediaportal because in the Mediaportal configuration I've set it so that close minimizes to tray. - Next up we create a simple batch file with the following line: [B]Filename[/B]: mediaportal_EG_close.bat [code]"C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe" -e Mediaportal.Close[/code] where "Mediaportal.Close" is my event name from the first step, can name it anything you like and Eventghost supports a lot of different actions (minimize / maximize / restore etc..) - Now let MPsteam use the batch script before starting steam. [ATTACH]170990[/ATTACH] - That's it Restoring Mediaportal can also be scripted with EventGhost the same way but would bind it to keyboard command or remote key. [/QUOTE]
