[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1291361, member: 141969"] I think that that will work only for the Ortek/Hama remote control. On the Ortek/Hama, the CLOSE button results in ALT_F4 being sent to the application. This key combination is "close application", but in MP the config file for the Ortek/Hama defines this to display the MP exit pop-up (of course you can change that if you wish). For the standard MCE RC6 remote control (which, as it happens, I have been using for the past month or so), there is no CLOSE button. Although one can define any of the unused buttons to be "Exit MP", that works only for MP, and so won't produce the desired result for "Bing Weather". For the MCE RC6 remote control, you might be able to get "Bing Weather" to close by editing the "ReportMappingTable" in the registry, to convert one of the unused buttons to generate ALT_F4. I think that one of the other media-center applications has a utility for doing this. Alternatively, you could edit the registry directly ( :eek: ), provided that you can work out what values need to be specified in the mapping table. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
