Media Center Studio: Edit and Customize the Windows 7 Media Center Menu

One feature missing from Windows 7 Media Center is the ability to customize the start menu by moving the tiles and strips around to better suit If your media habits. The only real way to do any of this type of customizing is being able to add Extras Library applications to the Main Extras strip. Enter Media Center Studio.This powerful application allows you to move around Media Center tiles and Menu Strips to your heart’s content, and even add additional applications to Windows Media Center.

It should be noted right up front that this is a Beta application that does include some bugs. Another downside is that it includes zero documentation whatsoever and it isn’t the least bit intuitive. However, it really is a great tool once you figure out how to use it.

Check out my full post at How-to Geek for a detailed look at how to use Media Center Studio to edit and customize your Windows Media Center menu. It should get you pointed in the right direction and hopefully save you a lot of time learning to use this program. Ready to dive right in? You can download Media Center Studio from the website.

Note: Media Center Studio can also be used to add Themes to Media Center, but I choose to attack that one in a separate post.
