Re: Big Screen weather on the Sports strip?

I'm also assuming you're a US user (as they are the only ones who are supposed to see this sports strip as well).

If you really want - I can provide some steps on how to remove this from the Sports Strip (which will also result in it being unavailable in some other places) - however warn it's not for the feint hearted (and requires some raw registry editing/searching to be done with 'regedit'.).

Please however note that many 3rd party addins you install which use this same 'News' category - and hence will also appear in the Sports Strip as well - and the final 'position' in this strip will be occupied on a 'last in - best dressed' basis. (so doing any manual registry editing most likely won't fix the problem permentantly).

thanks

I would appreciate it if you could provide the registry edits. I'm pretty comfortable working in there. I did have the Sports strip removed at one point, but something I did caused it to pop back up.

Is it possible to move it to another strip, or to it's own strip? I know that My Movies creates it's own strip if you want it to. BTW, nice weather app, though the interface seems kind of "busy".
