    Thanks to you both for the tips and suggestions on how to resolve the issues with my Vista MCE remote and W 7 - I might be tempted to wait now until th efinal release of W7 as that will be soon.

    sorry if this is an obvious question but I have just installed W 7 x64 and all seems well with my MCE remote but WMC insists on loading each time the green button is presed. Could anyone help please on how to prevent that from happening..?

    i used this and worked perfectly...

    Disable in dos screen (or batch file):
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCente r /v MediaCenter /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    Enable again:
    reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCente r /v MediaCenter /f

    Thanks for the very quick response with your help :)
    However is there a sytax problem with the first command as I get an error when I try and use it via a dos command..?

    Just get rid of the wrong "space" in \WindowsMediaCente r\ and it will work.
    Code:
    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter /v MediaCenter /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    btw. we will use that policy (as config option mostlikely) in 1.1.0 RC1

    correct.

    las r in WindowsMediaCenter is a space apart.

    try this...


    reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaCenter /v MediaCenter /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    mmm...seems that after posting the line, the forum adds a space. just copy it and remove the space

    mmm - Vimes goes back to hiding under a stone at not being able to see that "space". Hangs head in shame and then wonders why (even though the above has stopped WMC from working) that MP Tray can no longer launch MP as it used to do in Vista.?!
    MP Tray is runing as a process.

    Thanks for your help with the WMC issue :)
