Media Center Menu Customization.

For the longest time, most of us Vista (and MCE) users have wanted the ability to add, remove and modify the menus presented on the ‘Home’ screen. It looks as though an application is on the horizon that will give us that capability.

Over at XPMediaCentre.au, a member has started developing an application to do just this. I came across this link from a thread at the TheGreenButton, where a discussion on hacking XML and DLL files was achieving similar results. The application looks to do similar things, without the headaches and guesswork involved.

I’ll be sure to post updates here as I watch this project closely.

Update:

There actually is a download available of this utility.  You have to go a few pages in through the thread to find the latest release, but it is working.  I downloaded it and gave it a try, but it’s very limited in what it had to offer me, personally.  It’s of no fault of the author’s, just Microsoft doesn’t give much to work with.

For those wanting to give it a try, it is very easy to use.  You do have to register with the site to download.  I do not provide downloads on this site.
