In post 9243 on page 463, the same user also states he didn't experience any fullscreen issues on WMC 10 without using the launcher in V 8.2.3 after he...
1/ put the app path registry entries in and checked that ehshell.exe loaded the correct version of MSVidCtl.dll from ehome.
2/ set windows sound to 5.1 and checked that my video app played in surround.
3/ went into WMC and set the speakers to 5.1 and tested it. As expected, it played the same sound repeatedly but I let it finish and clicked on I heard sound from all speakers anyway.
4/ exited WMC and went back in then tested playing a wtv file in surround and it worked.
Note: It is important that you exit WMC after setting it to 5.1 because it will always fail to play until you do.
The odd thing is that on this one and my Living Room PC, I can set WMC to 5.1 with windows sound set to 5.1 but not on the other one I tried.
I wonder what the difference is?
edit: I have just realised that I don't have launcher on this one but WMC works perfectly in full screen mode!
An example Path registry file for Windows media center looks like this...
