    Create New Start Menu Strips in 7MC

    Filed under: How-To, Windows 7 Media Center; Tagged as: , ,

    Michael Healy of Hack 7MC has come through again.  To be honest, this is the stuff I wish knew how to do.  Mr. Healy has today taken time to show us how to add new strips to the 7MC start menu.

    Anyone who’s been using Media Center for any length of time knows that the start menu has never been very user editable. (Yeah, I think it’s a word!)  Michael has taken time to show you how to add your own strips.  I know that this is something I’ll be doing soon so I can add a custom strip to handle the extra apps I’ve installed.  I know there’s an “Extras” strip but for me, putting my apps closer to the center of the menu is going to be perfect.

    From the post:

    The first step to getting your new menu strip is to choose what programs you want to be on it. These programs have to be already entered into the Media Center’s Extra Programs. You can find a guide on adding new entries to the Extra Programs using Media Center Launcher and Configurator right here. Once all the programs you want to launch from your new bar are installed open a registry editor (start > “regedit” > enter).

     

    Head over to Hack 7MC to read the rest of the how-to.

    On a related note, if you’re looking to do anything that involves changing the look of your Media Center or anything dealing with 7MC in general, I suggest you subscribe to the feed provided by Michael’s blog.  This is one of the first ones I read every time there’s a new post.
