Posting this here because I'm going to be looking for it sometime soon:

Quote:This works for me - I found this a long time ago and it still works in VMC, not sure about Windows 7:

Set Remote Control ID - To enable your Media Center to respond to a specific remote control ID do the following; 1. Press and hold the DVD Menu key on the remote then press a number button (1-8) for 5 seconds. Remotes with visible LED signal indicators will blink twice to confirm the change. 2. Enter that same number below, and do NOT forget to delete the other entries in the same registry . 3. Save. 4. Restart the Media Center PC. Note: To enable Media Center to respond to all remotes use the number 0. A reboot is required for this setting to take effect.

Change the key below to the number you entered into the remote control:

Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da

Registry value - CodeSetNum0

Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

Set CodeSetNum0 to the value you set your remote control to.

This setting also requires deleting the following registry values:

Registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidIr\R emotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da

Registry value - CodeSetNum1

Registry value - CodeSetNum2

Registry value - CodeSetNum3

I do not think I changed ControlSet001, as that gets changed on the reboot after you change CurrentControlSet. If it does not work do both.
HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\HidIr\Remotes\745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da

Registry value - CodeSetNum0

Registry value data type - REG_DWORD

Set CodeSetNum0 to the value you set your remote control to.

Delete the following keys:

CodeSetNum1
CodeSetNum2
CodeSetNum3

What you working on here whurlston? Reason I ask is my client uses WinXPsp3 non-MCE and a MCE remote and when I get the ambition I am going to try the no software trick. I haven't dug into how that will affect external apps in the custom plugins. That's what I am prowling around looking for, but am coming up confused.

I'm going to end up putting a couple of machines in a rack in the basement along with an XBOX 360. This will allow me to control each machine with a different remote so that when I try to change the channel on one, all machines don't respond to the request. Basically assigning zones with a different remote for each zone.
