Party Mode: Media Centre and WMP

[vaughan]

Firstly i apologise if this post is in the wrong spot.

Is there a 'party mode', like there was for the Plus! Media programs that
have recently been stopped that is available for WMP11 or Vista users etc.
The plus! site says that most of the features are carried over into current
programs - however, sadly this feature has not been carried forth...

Is there some kind of plugin for it? I know there is a purchasable product
thru WMplugins.com, however after spending the amount of money that is
required to get Vista, i thought that it should be an included feature.

Party mode features included locking the rest of the computer from use when
the media player is open, admin controlled playlists, song requests etc -
very handy. There isnt anything planned on this is there?

cheers
