I'm using the SharpE TD3R2 release on a Vista Home Premium PC, and my Media Center remote as well as the controls on my keyboard for volume don't work unless I am running the Explorer shell in the background. I don't have any idea how to fix this myself other then that there may be an external program that could handle the remote volume other then Explorer, but I don't know of one. Just thought it'd be a good idea to add this as a feature request to let you know that someone is interested in having that feature. I don't know how hard it is to get working, but if it isn't too much trouble I'd like to at least have it by the next stable build. I'm not really sure if it's possible, but if it is I'd love it because I use Media Center with my remote a lot, and it's troublesome to have to walk all the way over to the computer every time the volume changes between programs so that my ears don't get blasted off. If it's too much trouble don't worry about it, I'll probably figure something out, but it would be really great to have that feature built-in to the shell.
Thank you for your time,
Vena
