into this place.. I understand how much it sucks to have new forums
missplaced. but what better place to put this question then general.. No
please can someone just answer my question.. I'm not gonna use this forum a
lot, nor probley ever again because of the response and arguments over stupid
junk..

P.S. If I knew how to move it, and find an area that would fit this, I
would, but I just want this answered..

You said this:

We get a lot of questions mis-posted to this newsgroup (because many
people don't know what "dotnet" is)

While that may or may not be true, that's not why they are posting their
message here. They don't see "dotnet" anywhere in the description. That
was my point.

I'm aware of that Robin, which is why I advised told the OP that this
wasn't the right group and to look for another one.

Scott,

We get the mispostings because these people are coming in from
Microsoft's Discussion Groups website. When they post a message, it
doesn't show the group name in the dropdown list, it shows a general
description. All groups that end in ".general" show up solely as
"General Discussion". Guess which group the first "General Discussion"
in the dropdown posts to...

The Windows entries are on the bottom of the dropdown list, and some
people don't get that far, they just stop at the first "General
Discussion" they see.

Annoying, isn't it?

Of course it matters! You are in the wrong place for this question.

This newsgroup is NOT for general windows discussions. It is for
general questions about programming applications using Microsoft's .NET
programming environment. Your reply is like saying that it shouldn't
matter that you are in a pet store, you just want a haircut!

We get a lot of questions mis-posted to this newsgroup (because many
people don't know what "dotnet" is) and we need to keep this group
focused on what it is for. Just try posting in a Windows newsgroup
(usually at the bottom of the newsgroup lists).

Thanks for the help

It's not that no one here wants to help, but in all likelihood, we
can't While there may be some here who know about Vista Media Center
and TV Guide, most of us probably are not experts in that area. And
as a general principle, we try not to answer off topic posts to keep
the forum clean and focussed on it purpose. As was pointed out by
others, there are more appropriate places to ask your question. Try
this one:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx

And then select Media Center PC

Good Luck
