Hi Prod - how did you do this! (I get MSMC tying to take over every now and again if I press the wrong button on the MCE remote).
Hi - first I removed the Media Center Tray from the startup programs using Windows Defender. Curiously this isn't enough, it will reappear given time! So, I restarted and started Vista up in "Safe Mode With Command Prompt" (press F8 at startup to bring that option up - sorry if you know that already I'm just being thorough). Then I renamed "C:\Windows\ehome" to "C:\Windows\DONOTLOADMCE". I'm writing this from memory so sorry if I've got the folder location wrong - it's wherever you find the "ehtray.exe" program.
Strange about the GreenButton IR code not being forwarded - it gets forwarded to the Media Center Tray, so I would expect it to be just like any other code. I worked this out by ending the Media Center Tray process and pressing the GreenButton (nothing happened).
I was messing with the OSD last night and noticed that pressing Down does what the Info button should do (in my opinion). However, because pressing Down when browing menus has a completely different functionality I don't want to assign this code to my Info button. Pressing Info over an item should really bring a context menu up, or even display Info about the selection, no?
