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
