I don't want the "My Programs" tab listed when I start XBMC. I know there was a way to do it with XBMP, is there any way to remove this, and "My Files", if possible, from showing up on the main menu? <

Ive never heard of a way but i suppose you could edit/make a custom skin to remove them. <

I know in XBMP there was an option in the XML file that you could edit. I believe the command was <visible>. I don't see this in XBMC. <

AFAIK you must edit 'home.xml' placed on the the skin dir you use. <

I tried deleting the section...didn't work. The reason that I don't like it there is because I want Xbox Media Center to be just that....a MEDIA center. I know I may be anal, but all I want it to do is play my music, video, and picture files. I'm not ready for it to be my dashboard yet. <

Try what A600 pointed out!

Different skins have buttons in different places so i assume this is where you would need to edit. Jeez the answer is (probably) already here

I tried doing this. I am using the skin that came with the RAR, and I tried removing the entries entirely for the "My Programs" and "My Files" tabs. When I tried to run XBMC again, it froze. What did I do wrong? <

You probably messed up the tags.

And it isn't good enough to just remove them.

Please take a look at the onup and ondown.

could you elaborate on that? or, point me to someplace that will elaborate on that? I don't know what onup and ondown means. <

Read skinning.txt I believe it is.

Onup means where to go when UP is pushed. Ondown means where to go when DOWN is pushed.

If you take a look at home.xml you should be able to figure it out.

Well, this worked for me. I was trying to do the same thing. I just renamed the first couple links to "My Videos" instead of "My Programs" and so on, and I got it to work. Just play around with it and you should get it. I also used the latest project mayhem skin (home.xml is more readable). Hope this helps out. <
