I've redone the Registry Tweaks section of the site. It should now be much easier to navigate through the various registry entries to find what you are looking for. It is also much easier for users to add new registry entries, and you can make comments about any of the registry tweaks individually.

Check out the new Registry Tweaks page HERE.

Here is a list of registry settings that you can use to tweak Media Center to meet your needs. Please use caution when changing registry settings, as you can mess up your computer. It is recommended that you backup all settings prior to making changes.

Use the channel +/- buttons on the remote to browse the guide a page at a time.

In the Guide, press Skip/Replay on the remote to skip forward/back 12 hours at a time.

With a picture on screen, press "Info" (or "More") on the remote and select "Rotate" to rotate it.

Almost any menu strip can be hidden with a simple registry tweak. Click here for details.

Press "Clear" on the remote to delete the media that is currently highlighted (works for Recorded TV, Videos, Music, and Pictures).

In the picture library, highlight the folder or tag you want, then press "Play" on the remote to start a slideshow.

With an album, video, or recorded show highlighted, simply hit "Play" on the remote to start it playing immediately - faster than pressing "OK" and then selecting "Play" on the menu.

While in the guide press the Record button on the remote twice to do a series recording.
