Minimize from Fullscreen
« on: April 24, 2006, 07:10:39 am »

Quite often I'll be viewing JPG's from Explorer.
Media Center defaults to opening, and I'm quite lazy so
never get round to changing it to something else.
Media Center does a good job of displaying the JPG however
it then requires two clicks to get out of it.  First going to Standard view
and then to minimize.  Is there any chance of a minimize button on
the fullscreen view?  Alternativley is there a short cut key which will
minimize for me?
Cheers
Chris.

with my small knowledge of what is possible. this can be a solution.

open notepad.
put this in the text:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\MC11.exe /mcc 10012,1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\MC11.exe /mcc 10014

save it as a .bat file. for instance min.bat

now make a shortcut to this bat file. beside it (or anywere elese you like).
rightclick on the shortcut.
choose properties.
choose a shortcut key, most of the time it will be CTRL + Alt + some kind of letter
choose run minimize (keeps from seeing the bat file popup.
done.

doin it two toggles it back to full screen

i guess there will be people with more elegant solutions.
