Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition and Xbox 360

Over the past few days I installed Windows Media Center Edition on my PC and configured it to connect to my Xbox 360. Let me tell you, this is one slick system for streaming media to your TV. The Xbox 360 works as an extender for the Media Center and can be set to access [...]

HELP!!

Multi-Monitor taskBar

If you use a multiple monitor display I found a cool free utility that allows you to have a second taskbar. It also provides buttons on each of your windows so that you can easily move a window from one display to the next. Nifty!
