Maxifier is a application that assists in running Vista Media Center on two screens. Please note that if you do not have two monitors attached, most of the functions will not do anything. Normally when running Media Center maximized on a second screen, Media Center captures the mouse so you can not move it on to the main screen. The Maxifier maximises Media Center on the second screen, but allows you keep control of the mouse.

The top options control various aspects of the The Maxifier and Media Center operation.
1. The Watch for Media Center starting option lets The Maxifier watch for Media Center starting by a method other than The Maxifier; if that happens then The Maxifer moves Media Center to the secondary screen, makes it full screen, and opens the startup page.
If you have more than two monitors, you can specify which monitor to open Media Center on, and which to use as your main screen.

2. The Adjust Window Size group allows you to make adjustments to the size of the Media Center window when maximized. Usually, this will only be useful for systems using underscan or overscan video output and allows you to adjust the window size to match your screen. You can use positive or negative numbers - negative numbers move the window edge left/up, positive numbers move it right/down.

You can use keyboard Hotkeys to control Media Center operations. This can be used by the keyboard, or if you have a remote control that can send keystrokes, you can enable HotKeys and use the remote control to control Media Center.

To create a HotKey, click in the field beside the operation and then press the keys to use as the HotKey. To remove a HotKey, click in the field and press the Delete key.

The following commands require that Media Center be the active application to work - Select, Left, Right, Down, Up, Back, Channel Up, Channel Down and the number keys. When using these HotKeys, Media Center will be made the active application, the HotKey will be processed, then the currently active application will be made active again. If you are using these HotKeys with a keyboard, this will only happen once the keys have been released.

Requirements:
* Vista Media Center
* Multimonitor environment
