Thanks Jason. This knowledge was hard to find. I am savvy with XP Pro but
not MCE.

You can't

Just don't use it. You can stop Media Center components from being used in
Add/Remove Programs, Set Program Access and Defaults.

Can I remove the Media Center app? I personally find it to be crap.

1. It does not recognize my music although it is all available to WMP
which is supposed to be the backend to this app. I have been told that I
need to update all the tags in the files. Well everything appears to be
there. Having to edit tags, in my mind, defeats the purpose of the
software. It should be seamless.

2. A lot of the functionality, DVD chapter select for example, appears
to be in the remote. Well, I'm sitting in front of the damn computer.
Why can't it be available by mouse?

Before this system, with MCE, I had separate apps for these functions,
music, pictures, DVD and TV and they all worked just fine. This is one
of the situations where they are trying to cover everything with one app.
I find they usually don't work well.

I do not see in Add/Remove Programs where I can remove the MC app.
Anybody know how to remove this crap?
