There is a great new application to help with the maintenance of Windows Media Center. MCE 7 Reset Toolbox has a number of features to make life with Media Center a little easier, it has backup and restore features for lineup, subscriptions and schedules, the ablilty to fix Media Center’s menus and other Windows task such as System Restore and hardware uninstall. At the moment the addin is 32bit only with the 64bit version due soon.
As you can see from the screen shot the application is really nice looking as the developer has really payed attention to the look and feel of the application. The application is free and available from MadeforMediaCenter.com

Looks good; just need the 64 bit version to be available.
By “Fix MC Menus” does that mean you can customise the menus, get rid of ones you dont want etc? Sounds like a great solution.
I just tried to download the 64-bit version – about 5 times. Each time I got a 0mb-sized file. Can anybody confirm that this link works or doesn’t?
