Oops, spoke too soon. Doesn't actually work, but this I didn't notice before.
The next/prev track keys don't work ONLY if media center is shrunk into the system tray.
The keys DO work if MC isn't shrunk to the tray. and they DO work regardless of whether MC is in the foreground or background, as long as it's not shrunk to the tray.
Interestingly, if I TURN OFF the minimize to system tray option, THEN the next prev track keys work fine when MC in minimized.
So, it would seem there's something amiss, just not sure what.
However, I tried the MC12.exe /Command Next and previous options and they work perfectly, regardless of whether MC in minimized to the systray or not.
So, seems like a perfectly fine workaround to me.
But it would be nice to see the Command line documented in the help file. I search for COMMAND and got just a few hits, none related to the command line.
Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it.
