[Vista] Guild Wars: Media Center Fix

[Josh]

To those of you who are using Vista and have noticed Windows Media Center launching every time you load or exit Guild Wars, there is a small fix to get rid of this happening. Hopefully this saves a bunch of people hours of trying to find a solution.

1. Right click the shortcut to Guild Wars and select "Properties"
2. In the "Target" field, delete the switch "-mce"
3. Click Apply and OK
4. Launch Guild Wars and experience no Windows Media Center loading. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... igwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' />

Why does it do this? For some reason, ArenaNet added the -mce switch to the default installation on Vista machines. Why? I'm not exactly sure. Hopefully in future ArenaNet will fix this from happening as I cannot see any reason for the Media Center benefiting Guild Wars in any way.

I hope this helped someone out there. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... iggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />
