lolz... it can be done. It doesnt look as pretty tho
this is how it is enabled in 2005 >> (from a guide I wrote at AMCC > its actually the same in vista for most part)
Step 1: Enabling the DVD Library In the Start Menu.
There are two ways to do this. Manually(below), or there is a .reg script floating around that apparently does it automatically. Please note that *some* people havent been able to get the library up with that script. I havent posted it here as I dont have a link.
Have a read below - its really easy to do manually.
To get into the registry, go to start>run and type "regedit" in the box. The registry editor will open up
These are the relevant reg setting to look at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings
Look on the right side for the registry value called : ShowGallery
To the right of it, you'll see its value by default is "Play" . All you need to do is double click the ShowGallery value and you'll see a small box come up - which will have the value 'Play' in it. Delete this and Type in "Gallery" over it (without the quotation marks!)
Close the registry editor. Start MCE> If youve done the registry change correctly, you will see My DVDs in the start menu !!!
here's a piccie I capped for you
You'll notice the covers aren't as big. Rest of the info is the same though
good luck. let me know if you need me to post the rest of the guide up, re-manual metadata allocation etc. theres also apps like MyMovies that will help you organise your movies nicely >> mymovies in mce2005 is particularly good >> give you a better effect than whats pictured above
