You can then use a program like Media Center Studio if you wish to move the icon on to one of the menu strips in Media Center, I moved it to the Extra’s menu strip. Now open Media Center and navigate to the Extra’s Library your new Google Chrome icon will be in there.

You can select these current tiles and click the Remove button to remove the tile from Media Center. Note: I recommend you close down Media Center whilst doing this.Īfter clicking add your new custom tile called Google Chrome will be listed under Current Tiles. Once all the fields have been populated correctly click the Add button. I just found one from a Google image search, if you are too lazy you can download my icon below from my SkyDrive. Name: Google Chrome (Name that appears under the tile in Media Center) URL: You can add any URL in to the URL field this is the webpage that will be loaded when Google Chrome is launched. Uncheck Fullsceen unless you want Chrome to be launched in to fullscreen? Trigger: Change this to Close App (The GreenButton) trigger seems to be problematic and kept crashing Chrome on my PC.) We are going to create our own new custom tile. Now there are some predefined tiles you can select and add in to Media Center exe file that requires no installation so you can save it and run it from any folder on your PC, I created a folder for it under C:\Program Files (x86)\Relaunch an saved the. When using Relaunch to create an icon also know as a tile, when you select this icon from the Media Center menu, Media Center is automatically minimized and your desktop application launched, when you then close the launched desktop application, Media Center is automatically maximized.ĭownload the latest version of Relaunch from here currently version 202. You can use Relaunch to add any icon you wish in to Media Center to launch your desktop applications. There is a newer utility called Relaunch which I think is a better tool for this job. I previously wrote about a method of adding an Internet Explorer icon in to Windows Media Center here using a utility called Media Center Launcher Configurator.
