I think I accidently edited something wrong in my evox.ini. It used to have a main menu when I booted evox up, but now it just starts from my games folder. Can someone please help me to get my main menu back? What did I edit wrong? Here's the menu part of my evox.ini file:

[Menu]

       Item "Play Inserted Game / RESET",@5
       Section  "Play Games from Hard Drive (DON'T USE XBOX LIVE!)"
      {
           Line "- Games on the Hard Drive -",2
         SortStart
         AutoAddItem "f:\HDDLoader\"
         SortEnd
      }
       Item "MediaXMenu","f:\Apps\MXM\default.xbe"
       Item "DVD Movie Player","f:\Apps\DVDX\default.xbe"
       Section  "Emulators"
      {
           Line "- Emulators on Hard Drive -",2
         SortStart
         AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\Emulators\"
                       Item "Project 64 X","f:\Apps\Emulators\Nintendo 64\Project64x.xbe"
         SortEnd
      }
       Item "Xbox Media Player - XBMP","f:\Apps\XBMP\default.xbe"
       Item "Power OFF Xbox",@10
   Section "System Management"
   {
               Item "Copy Game From DVD","f:\Apps\HDDLoader\default.xbe"
      Item "Skins",@13
      Section  "Applications"
      {
           Item "Xbox File Explorer","f:\Apps\boXplorer\default.xbe"
         Line "- Self Copied Items -",2
         SortStart
         AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\"
         SortEnd
      }
      Item "Original MS Dashboard",@3
      Item "System Settings",@9
   }
}

You don't have a section "Root" sourounding all of the other sections and items.  I don't know that this is definitely the complete solution to your problem, but you should have one.  My evox.ini looks like this, not the section "Root":

I hope this is helpful.

So where would I add "root"? Where exactly would I put it in my ini?

[mrRobinson]

Did you see what he posted? you'd put it at the very top with a closing bracket for it at the bottom.  

[BraveBen]

So it'd be this:

[Menu]
Section "Root"
{
Item "Play Inserted Game / RESET",@5
Section "Play Games from Hard Drive (DON'T USE XBOX LIVE!)"
{
Line "- Games on the Hard Drive -",2
SortStart
AutoAddItem "f:\HDDLoader\"
SortEnd
}
Item "MediaXMenu","f:\Apps\MXM\default.xbe"
Item "DVD Movie Player","f:\Apps\DVDX\default.xbe"
Section "Emulators"
{
Line "- Emulators on Hard Drive -",2
SortStart
AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\Emulators\"
Item "Project 64 X","f:\Apps\Emulators\Nintendo 64\Project64x.xbe"
SortEnd
}
Item "Xbox Media Player - XBMP","f:\Apps\XBMP\default.xbe"
Item "Power OFF Xbox",@10
Section "System Management"
{
Item "Copy Game From DVD","f:\Apps\HDDLoader\default.xbe"
Item "Skins",@13
Section "Applications"
{
Item "Xbox File Explorer","f:\Apps\boXplorer\default.xbe"
Line "- Self Copied Items -",2
SortStart
AutoAddItem "f:\Apps\"
SortEnd
}
Item "Original MS Dashboard",@3
Item "System Settings",@9
}
