Media Center Menu Bars
When you move the mouse, the Media Center menu bars appear. When you use the remote control, or when you stop using the mouse (after 5 seconds), the menu bars disappear.
You can switch to the desktop at any time without closing or minimizing Media Center.
You don’t need to minimize the Media Center window to open another program or go to a Web site. You can just resize the Media Center window and then open another program by using the Start menu.
To display the desktop, select the Minimize icon by using the arrow buttons on the remote control or by using the mouse. You can also resize the window to display Media Center and a part of the desktop.
To return to Media Center, use the mouse to click the
Media Center icon on the taskbar.
