[QUOTE="Mashenden, post: 543712, member: 17871"] "No need for patch" would be great, but I thought I had tried every option - let me dig a bit more. A few questions for more clarity, if that is OK... Re: Btw - You are saying that the "Basic Home" menu is the one with 5 choices displayed horizontally, and the non-basic menu that vertically displays basic choices as well as plug in choices (if configed so) is simply called "Home", right? Re: 1 - In 1.0.2, I had "Use basic homescreen" deselected, which resulted in MP not loading to the Basic Home menu page on start up, but if one hits "h" when in the Home menu it would still toggle between Basic Home and Home. As I understand it, this selection (deselected) does not deactiviate Basic Home completely, just from being the default upon loading - Is this correct? Assuming this is correct, please also keep in mind that I have selected "Minimze to tray on GUI exit" to save time on not having to reload MP each time. My intent is to have MP look like it was loaded by always coming up on the Home menu when unminimizing, despite where it was left when closed (minimized).

Does that make sense and agree with how it is supposed to work w/o the patch? All I know is that it works as needed with the patch, but I could never accomplish this w/o the patch. That said, I am willing to learn :) Your Re: 2 did not gel in my mind. What did you mean with "switch home" and "home"? Can these be accomplsihed seperately using something other than "h" on the keyboard? Mashenden [/QUOTE]
