Using Harmony/shortcuts with MBC

[tp546 41]

Hey guys, I am trying to map a button to my Harmony One that will start MB and my initial thought was to use a keyboard shortcut and then program that into my remote, but every time MBC gets updated, it wipes out the shortcut settings. Can someone who has a similar setup give me any advice on how to deal with that problem? Thanks!

If you drag a shortcut to the taskbar (win 7) then you can use Winkey+[index of item on taskbar] to launch it.  That should survive updates...

I tried that actually and it didn't. Maybe if I create a shortcut manually and give it a keyboard shortcut it won't get deleted during updates?

Yep, that should work.  So should what I said but you'd need to drag a copy of it to the task bar.

I use event ghost for my remote.
