Disable Windows Handling of MCE Remote?

Post by NewYears1978 »

Here is my dilemma.

I have built a new HTPC and have a standard RC6 MCE (RRC126) remote. Windows automatically detects this and almost all buttons work right out of the box.

So I wanted to reprogram some of the buttons to do other things in XBMC. Programming ones that are not mapped by default is no problem, I can use Keyboard emulation or XBMC2 plugin or whatever. The issue is with buttons already mapped by windows. For instance the Up button is mapped and if I remap that..I am now performing two commands.

Is there some way around this...it seems sometimes Event Ghost automatically disables windows handling..it has before but these last few times it has not.... I am not sure what the proper solution is here.

That's because somehow your system use an IR exe of some kind by default.
Go to msconfig and try to locate an IR.exe in the startup tab (if you're lucky) and disable it.
Then in eventghost you'd have to find the right plugin for your remote, i have no clue which one though
