Microsoft’s Update Rollup 2 for Windows Media Center Edition 2005 aka Emerald (for those with better things to do than recite long product names) broke one of the great add-ons for Windows Media Center Edition, Tweak MCE. Thankfully, Microsoft issued an updated version of Tweak MCE on November 4, solving the problem and restoring balance to the universe. Two important reasons to get Tweak MCE are improved skipping through files and the option to control where recorded television shows are stored on your system without needing to hack the registry. Should you ever find a need to change the location of your recorded television without the benefit of Tweak MCE, here’s the appropriate registry tweaks to move the recorded television location without breaking MCE.

I tried the new MCE Tweak. After setting up where my saved .dvr-ms files are, Recorded TV now shows almost 50 programs.
That’s too many to sift though every day, so I deleted the extra drives. MCE still list 50 shows (I should only have 7 right now.)
I’ve tried changing settings, exiting, restarting — na da
I tried deleting the entries with MCE Tweak, restarting the computer — nocando
How can I recover my original settings for MCE 2005?
