Anyone have any insight how to map one of the keys on the MCE Rosewill RR-126 to the contextual menu? I've tried reading through some of the keyboard.xml wikis but my eyes are getting crossed.

I did a quick search of the forums for "rosewill" and it appears to be an ehome remote. If so look on wiki.xbmc.org for the article "Using a Microsoft remote control in Windows".

Unfortunately that's where my eyes get crossed. I'm not smart enough to convert that wiki to somehow changing a specific button on my ehome remote to show the contextual menu.

Install the MCERemote add-on (it's in the Programs section). Run the add-on and select "Configure MCERemote settings". Scroll down to find the button you want to open the context menu, and set it to "c" (without the quotes). Click OK, apply the settings then restart Windows.

I've tried that a couple times with no success? Am I missing something?

With ShowKey, the info key doesn't register at all. Stop registered but Play, FF, and RW only showed app commands:
Stop: <stop>Notification(Key, stop, 3)</stop>
Play: WM_APPCOMMAND 46: Begin playing at the urrent position
FF: WM_APPCOMMAND 49 Increase the speed of stream playback
RW: WM_APPCOMMAND 50 Go backward in a stream at a higher rate of speed

The registry settings are still at the defaults, i.e. the remote config hasn't been changed.
Are you using Windows 7 or Vista? If so do you have User Access Control enabled? It's possible that the user access control is preventing you from making the changes to the registry.

That's what I'm doing.
Just to clarify, the remote works. I've gotten the green button to launch XBMC. I can stop, start, play, etc... with the remote.
The only thing I can't seem to do is figure out how to map a button to something different. I've tried the add-on to map the info button, the # and * buttons to the ContextMenu with no luck at all.

I followed some directions on this forum for modifying the registry.
