Hi, I have exactly the same problem but with the UK version of MCE 2005. the shortcut is already in Start Menu > Programs > Accessories > Media Center > Media Center Programs but does not appear in my media center menu. whilst searching about shortcuts on MCE I read that they dont work in that folder in MCE 2005, only on 2004. this link here http://blogs.msdn.com/mcreasy/archive/2005/02/17/375600.aspx goes on about it , but I have no clue at all what it is talking about
