Thanks so much for this app, it's fantastic!

* Also tried other things then renaming the MM tile. I simply can't save. Whatever do. Hope to see a reply from you soon. Thanks for the effort!
I'm guessing that error (De aanvraag wordt niet ondersteund) translates to "The request is not supported"? I'm aware of this, but it is difficult for me to fix as it is related to the language version of Windows you're using.

Unfortunately, when I tried to start VMC I immediately got an exception in ehshell.exe saying it had to close. I tried rebooting, but the same thing. So I went back into MC Menu Mender and simplified the menus as much as possible, but I still couldn't start VMC. So, out of desperation, I clicked the "restore defaults" button. After that VMC started fine. So I'm wondering if it's something I put in the menus maybe? I guess I can go back in and slowly add stuff one item at a time and see if I can re-start VMC after that. But at least that dreaded error popup is gone...!

Thanks for your dedication to this application!

Have you moved any built in links to other strips? If you move a built in link to a strip that is further up the list than the strip it was originally on, VMC will crash. This is an unavoidable limitation of the way VMC loads the menus and has been mentioned many times in this thread.

If you're not doing that, could you please provide a detailed list of exactly what you're doing to make VMC crash?

As above... are you moving links between strips? If not, please provide a detailed description of the simplest way you can make VMC crash.

The restore defaults button only restores changes to the VMC files, not to the registry. Not sure about the custom strip - that should work fine.
