First of all if this doesn't belong feel free to delete.
Secondly I typed it with spaces to avoid getting websearch traffic here.

I recently acquired a box, installed a chip and installed X b o x media center on it and I love it.

Does anyone here have any good tips or suggestions on how to make it better and a little more usable?

One of my biggest peeves is when going to "My Videos". In order to view the videos I have on my PC I have to dig through a bunch of levels before I get to my shared folder. Is there any way to add a "shortcut" to that folder?

I've looked around the net but there's so many forums on this stuff with a high noise ratio that it becomes a pain to dig for too long.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated and for anybody looking at a media center pc type of solution I think you should look into this setup... it's just wonderful!

Thanks!
