Hi
Thanks for the reply and although that will work I'd prefer if I didn't have to create a batch file that starts VC and then put that in the startup folder. Two too many depenedenices. Is there a way it can be set so that VC itself remembers?

cheers

Hi
I'm using VC with mediaportal but would like it only to wake up when I issue the control command (or whatever the wake-up phrase is called) but when The machine start VC starts in active mode how do I get it to start in standby mode.

Cheers
