Intel NUC and Remote control configuration (1 Viewer)

[Caleb]

Hi,

I've just set up a new HTPC system with a Haswell NUC and I'm really loving it.

I bought a remote on eBay that seems to work well, but the problem is that I need to reprogram some of the buttons.

For example, by default pressing the Media Center button does absolutely nothing when I'm in Windows, and I'd like it to launch MediaPortal. Also, I'd like to change the behavior of the Power Off button to send an Alt+F4 (close active window), instead of suspending the computer.

Does anyone know if any of this is possible using Intel's CIR and a regular MCE remote?

Thanks!

I ended up using the guide here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Using_a_Microsoft_remote_control_in_Windows
And an advanced mapper app to change the registry and make the remote emulate a keyboard: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=164252

Which NUC are you running? Celeron or one of the i series?
