killervette:i went to change the registry for WatchedFolders in Vista, but i do not have that entry??? any ideas?
Its possible you are looking in the incorrect place.Try this go back into the Registry and click on Edit tab then Find enter "WatchFolders" "WatchedFolders" see if that finds it. see if that finds it
Edit sorry its WatchedFolders not WatchFolders.

@KillerVette: Have you ever used the registry before? It’s a dangerous place to be.
Backup the registry first and add the WatchedFolders into the registry, do you know how to do that?
killervette:sure...i know my way around pretty well. i will add it and see what happens. If i add it and have the recorded tv on the server, it should then show up in Recordtv, correct??
Thats only one step, you have to use Gpedit on WHS to set the settings.
That's the only setting that is needed on Vista (for storing and playing recorded TV), You will need the other settings on WHS.
On the MCE PC there should be a WHS Shared folder on MCE desktop.
(This is on MCE 2005 but Vista is similar) Click on that folder then recorded TV folder, go to the Security tab then Advanced (lower right). clear the "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.Include these with entries explicitly defined here" make sure that the check box is uncheck .
@KellerVette: PM me with your phone number.
killervette:got it. I used that batch file...then unchecked the tab in the advanced permissions. it seems to be working. thanks alot! next thing is the check the xbox
Great glad you got it working the Xbox360 will work.
If you could post it back on TGB and let them know you have it working, it may help others who are having a problem, thanks.
Hi,
I've read en followed this great article and I now have 2 vista media centers connected to my WHS. It works great thanks to your exlanation.
But, I've also found a simple workaround, so you don't have to log in and run the batch file.
I will post this workaround today or tomorrow.
