I renamed the "pictures" home button to "games"

when i add sources xbmc still thinks i am looking for pictures and won't launch a .xbe. how do i fix this?

so i was wondering if someone would let me know hot to change it so i have all the regular files views and can launch programs inside the renamed "pictures" category

thanks

you messed things up and ask here how to fix it?

umh.. No

note that you can't just change the behaviour of a defined section in xbmc by simply renaming it. so revert your changes and take a look here - i saw ppl writing they can start xbes with this one.

But some cool guys keep coding stuff to it and made it dharma-compatible, see here:

i saw ppl in the above thread using an addon to open xbe stuff from within xbmc, that's all.
