SubscribeHere's a quick way to tweak mini-guide behavior in Windows Vista Media Center
The are is a mini guide in Windows Vista Media Center that appears as an overlay while you are watching live TV so you can quickly browse details of other shows on other channels. Slightly annoying however is that it is abit counter intuitive. The up arrow goes down in channel numbers while down arrow goes the opposite direction.
Fortunately, Aaron Stebner has posted a reg hack for this:
1. Click on the Start menu, choose All Programs, then Accessories
2. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator
3. Click Allow to launch an administrator command prompt
4. Run reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoSettings" /v ChannelBrowserArrowUpMeansChannelUp /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
5. Close and re-open Windows Media Center for the change to take effect
If you want to change the mini-guide scrolling behavior back to the default (which will make it scroll the opposite direction of channel up/down scrolling), you can use these steps:
1. Click on the Start menu, choose All Programs, then Accessories
2. Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator
3. Click Allow to launch an administrator command prompt
4. Run reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\VideoSettings" /v ChannelBrowserArrowUpMeansChannelUp /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
