Media Center Launcher Configurator

[Fizz]

When launching Internet Explorer in Windows Media center, it opens the window briefly and then returns to windows media center home screen. If I minimize windows media center, Internet explorer is there. How do I get it to open and stay open in WMC and, after closing it to go back to WMC home screen.
I have used Media center Launcher configurator to launch IE.
Thanks

I have the same issue with Firefox. In my case I have a button on my remote (generic MC from Hama) which opens the default browser. Interestingly when I set Internet Explorer (IE9 x 64) as the default browser it works!

Take a look at these utilities:

For putting an I.E icon in MCE I am no longer using Media Center Launcher Configurator but a new program called ReLaunch works perfectly!

Thanks cw-kid for the link.

Installed it and works like a charm.

How do you close the web page with the remote other than pressing the media center button?
Thanks

Well that was the problem with MC Launcher Configurator if you pressed back on the remote to go back a page in IE it would exit IE and maximize MCE, that's why I switched to using Relaunch.

I am normally using either a Logitech dinovo mini keyboard or a keyboard / mouse app on iOS so usually just click the red x in IE to close. If you are just using a standard MCE remote not sure how you would exit? You could program a universal remote with Alt+F4 to close the IE app. One assumes if your browsing IE on the TV you have some way to move the mouse cursor from your seat.

Or have you tried Kylo browser? A browser designed for the TV.

Thanks Stuart for replying back this quickly.
No way to move the cursor. Wanted to check first whether I could get into a web page before buying one of the generic wireless keyboards to play with before investing in a Harmony remote.
Kylo browser looks good.
Any tips on installation?

Cheers

cw kid thanks for this info. You posted it awhile back as well and I have been using it ever since. I mapped one of my buttons on my remote to do a alt+f4 which closes whatever program I am running and returns me to media center. Works like a champ.

I would not recommend a Logitech dinovo mini as they are crap, on my third replacement. A lenovo mini would be better.
Think I used media center studio to place klyo browser icon in Mce or maybe the klyo installer does it for you? I forget now.

And the iOS keyboard mouse app I use on my iPod touch is a free one from Logitech called TouchMouse.

Does WMC remote work with Kylo TV. I'm getting conflicting reports?

Kind of, think you can use the arrow buttons and OK to navigate round the square boxes for the various website links. Would have to try it I forget, but usually have mouse control handy.

am having a hard time with 7MC and Kylo. Want to put it on the top menu page, but all I get is it on the EXTRA page. Even tried using the WMCCC.EXE application to move it, but it never sees KYLO as an installed extra.

i use MCE Reset Toolbox these days to do this. Kylo exists on an Internet TV strip within my MC menu. but getting things from the extras menu to the main menu should be very easy, you just right click on them within the extras menu and tell it to pin to start menu

Yes I activated that button in the extra menu, and it does not work for Kylo. Thinking I may have to reinstall Kylo again. It does show as a sub menu item in the EXTRAS menu, but I wanted it all the way at the top.

[bobbob]

i've just tried adding kylo to the start menu the proper way and it does appear on the top line with the extras for me. Have you changed the default menu at all through Reset ToolBox or MC Studio previously? could you have hidden one of the four favourite buttons there?

otherwise, yes i would try reinstalling kylo as its definitely possible to do what you are trying to achieve

[offroad]

It was because in WIN7 you have to right click on the KYLO install app and run as administrator to install KYLO the right way.

am using RELAUCH203 application now. with complete success. It seems to be superior.
