[QUOTE="IanJ, post: 695930, member: 107764"] Hi all, Does anyone know of any application launcher plugins compatible with MP 1.2.0, or possibly any ideas on how to hack one in. I basically have a couple of batch files I'd like to run from the main menu on demand. EASYAPPS is old and isn't compatible. Pity as it's a nice wee app. MULTISHORTCUT seems a bit bloatware and requires hacking a DLL to get to run. Ideas? Ian. UPDATE: Found a workaround.........have assigned a couple of buttons (blue & yellow) on my Hauppauge remote to run my custom .bat files, however, they work only at the Windows desktop so have had to assign the power button on my remote to drop out of MP so I can then use the blue & yellow buttons. The power button can then restart MP. Another problem though is that the TV Service needs restarted before the changes my custom .bat files take affect, so a new .bat file containing those commands has also been implemented which is used to restart MP. So, whilst it works i'd like it cleaner............so now looking for ways to restart the tv service from within MP, and also how to have my custom buttons work not only at the windows desktop but within MP. Looks like MP is masking off those buttons. Ian. [/QUOTE]
