For those of you who use Windows XP Media Center Edition as a PVR / DVR, you are probably familiar with the fact that the device itself is still pretty much a PC running a customized version Windows XP. Well Windows has had what is called a Registry since Windows 95. What’s so special about the Windows Registry? Well it’s the place where just about all of your settings are stored. Quite often you can edit the Registry to make changes that would other wise be impossible. That’s where Aaron Stebner’s blog post comes into play.

Aaron gave us a list of settings that we can change to customize MCE just a bit more to our liking. Be forewarned though, it is extremely easy to completely mess up Windows if you enter bad values in the Registry. It is suggested to only try these hacks if you know what you are doing.
