Media Center Remote "Guide" button

[Reddwarf]

ahh,but in win7, hip isn't as nice as xp....
for win7 i'd recommend IR Server Suite as it has this ability to just disable the wmc key presses without uninstalling...
and i find it the most easily understandable to setup..

I'v used HIP on W7 x64 for more than 6 months and it has never had a hickup yet... Once version 4 was out all W7 problems was solved.

I was thinking more along the lines of using something like Eventghost to capture the button press?

Eventghost won't "capture" the button press. It will see it, and can act on it, but Windows will still see it as well
I stopped the green button on my remote from loading MC by some other means than disabling Media Center, but I can't remember what I did. I think maybe there's a setting in the Control Panel? I'll try to find what I did.
