Media Center Tray Application
The Media Center Tray is a new application that can be used in place of the
Media Center menu described earlier. The Media Center tray is accessible by
clicking the “Media Center icon”, which you can optionally add to the Windows
taskbar. The Media Center tray contains menu items that provide access to the
same display settings that the Media Center menu contains, in additional to
direct access to certain application-specific options such as those for nView
Desktop Manager, OpenGL and Direct3D customized settings, and others.
For details on enabling the Media Center icon, see
