Microsoft Releases TweakMC for Vista Media Center

One of the most popular Media Center plug-ins has always been TweakMCE, but with the release of Vista the community has been lacking such a tool produced by Microsoft.  That has now changed with the release of TweakMC for Vista Media Center.  The new tool exposes an interface for the various registry settings that control Media Center behavior.

TweakMC allows easy access to several dozen Media Center settings including some of the ones listed below.  The UI is hardly pretty to look at, but the good news is that once you change the settings this tool shouldn’t be needed again.

Wonder if Matt approves of the new version? (he headed up TweakMCE for Media Center 2005)

  • Display Wireless Passwords
  • Overscan Adjustment Settings
  • Enable AddIn Debugging
  • Override the Current Screen Resolution
  • Enable DVD Library
  • Skip Forward/Back Interval
  • More Info Panel Timeout
  • Enable Universal Remote Control
  • Set Remote Control ID
  • Much more

That was unexpected. And it wasn't even the only VMC news yesterday, seems the TV Pack should be out any day now: support.microsoft.com/default.aspx
