Hello all curious how you guys have your remote controls configured for HTPC use.

I have my Logitech700 setup as SE for media center w/ all this keystrokes (listed below) which keystrokes are you Guys using for each function.

Currently I'm using
1.ctrl+esc for a start button press ctrl+esc/right cursor/ enter to logically turn off PC

2.win+down to minimize pop up windows example the peskie Western digital external 1TB my book HDD software that I have read is best to never use.

3.alt f4 to close WMC

recently added win+p/ then enter hopping this button will resolve the blank screen sleep issue I have.

Thanks STB
