Media manager services icon

[zoots]

I have removed the media manager icon from the systems tray and cannot figure out how to re-start this program. I un-ticked the option to start this program at startup by clicking on the system tray icon. I have Vista Basic, EMC9 LE.

 

Please help.

Try this also--START--SEARCH--ALL DRIVES and enter "mediamanager?.exe" (without the quotes) and see if it finds and folders where it resides. If it finds that exe program, right click on it and then on the drop down menu, click on "send to" and choose your desktop to make a shortcut to it.

No, no, no everything I try has failed to work. Ive asked on THREE ofther forums and still no solution, everyones suggestions fail. Giving up now and seriously cheesed off.

I dont have EMC 9 LE, but in the full suite, if you open Roxio central (the main icon) you can access media manager from there.

I dont have these sub-menus in the start menu. Only shortcut to Creator 9! Is there any other way to access this program?

If you don't have them then you have a larger problem.If it's a program that's been installed in Windows it should be in the Start Menu.

Make sure that you go to any item in the start menu,right click and select Sort by Name.This puts your Start menu in alphabetical order.It should make it easier to find.

The sub-menus have never been there. I purchased the computer yesterday with EMC9 LE pre-installed.

OK - a workround

 

First, open the Roxio folder

 

Go to Documents and Settings, <User Name>, Start Menu, Programs and make a new folder called Roxio and open that

 

Drag the icons from the Roxio program folder there (right click, drag, drop and 'Create Shortcut') That will make the shortcuts in a new folder on the start menu

Errrr there is no Roxio program folder in the start menu, only the one shortcut to open Creator 9!

[gi7omy]

That's why I said to make one in C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Start menu\Programs

 

That's where the start menu lives and can be modified there

 

<User Name> is whatever your 'name' is at log-on

It's got to be listed somewhere in the start programs, it just might be named differently.

[i'm editing this post of mine, as I gave some wrong info previously regarding Windows Services. The following is now correct!]

 

The program you are describing is called RoxWatchTray9.exe on my Vista Home Basic, and the full path to it is

C:\program files\common files\roxio shared\9.0\sharedcom\RoxWatchTray9.exe

 

On my PC, it is set to automatically run in the registry in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

 

If you don't want to manually edit the registry, another way to set it to run automatically, is to:

1) Go to Start/All Programs/Startup, and right-click on the Startup folder.

3) Left-click on "Open". This will open Windows Explorer in the Startup folder.

4) In the right-hand pane of Windows Explorer, right-click on a blank area.

5) Mouse down to "New" (2nd from bottom), and mouse across to the next set of choices.

6) Click on "Shortcut" (2nd from top).

7) Copy and paste the following line into the location box (including the quotes):

 

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\SharedCOM\RoxWatchTray9.exe"

 

8) Click Next.

9) Type "Media Manager Services" for the shortcut name (leaving out the quotes).

10) Click Finish.

 

 

If you go back to Start/All Programs/Startup, there should now be a shortcut called

"Media Manager Services" in this folder, which will run automatically when the computer boots.

 

If you don't want it to run automatically, you can just drag the icon into the Roxio folder instead.
