    Games in Win7 Media Centre


    Hello,

    I have say 15 games I play with my wireless xbox controller on my htpc. Games like Dirt, Grid, Fallout 3 etc

    How can I launch these with the remote from within MC? I presume a third party application will be needed to display thums/links? Please help, I know there were some ways of doing it on earlier versions of Windows?

    On exiting the games I would be looking to return to the MC interface where I left off?

    Thanks,

    Dean.

    It won't let you just navigate to where your games are and select em? ( I dunno what you'd call it i guess the left mouse button on your remote? ) on the game?

    Lemme know!
