Any thoughts on doing this in Vista? That key does not seem to exist.

Thank you for explaning the term "MRU" but as a lay person it is too intricate for me to undertake and I am a "sissy" when it comes top taking chances with my system...I am sure I will visit you again!

Yes, that is correct. It's pick and choose.

If I am reading this right, it looks like you can deny permissions to a given MRU. If you want to maintain your Audio MRU's just don't change those permission and only hit the Video and Picturs. Great tip! I have been looking for this for a couple of months.

Yeah, well it's nice if you have the luxury of doing this. This, however, is the only way that I can get my music to load in less than one minute.

To try to go through the pathetically slow Album screen is simply unacceptable. So my Media Center experience is resigned to one or two playlists that can only be loaded from the recent memory screens otherwise I'm in Media Center waiting hell.

It's been years of course and still Microsoft does nothing about it despite acknowledging this glarring effort for years.

No wonder my enthusiasm for Media Center is dying.
