help with the xbmc <program> list

i have recently installed slayer 2.6 on a new 200 gig hd and let me say thanks to everyone involved in slayer project.

but my question is on the xbmc and setting up the program list? i have changed the names in the program list and i am trying to point them in the right direction. for example <bookmark>games<bookmark> <path>f:\games<path> <depth>1<depth> which works fine (forgive me if that looks wrong as i did it from memory, at work right know) if the files are located in the main folder as in my games are in f:\games i have gotten it to work no problem. if i have subfolders like f:\apps\emulators\n64 & nes & mame etc. i can't get them to show up? i have a category called emulators and i can't point it in the right direction, i have read the manual and still having no luck. any help would be great.

and a second quick questions if i have a folder like f:\apps and in it i have 8 to 9 files like boxplorer, emulator, hddloader, dvd2xbox etc. can i direct a <bookmark> to show only 3 of them? if so how would it look (<path>, <depth> etc)

please read manual again.

you can specify <path>f:\boxexplorer\default.xbe,f:\hddexplorer\default. xbe</path>

so, you can use filenames in the <path>, so just list the ones you want.

for your emulators, do something like:

<name>emulators</name>
<path>f:\apps\emulators</path>
<depth>1</depth>

now, if it is such that your emulators aren't actually named default.xbe, then you have two options. 1) turn off : show only default.xbe in settings->my programs or 2) change the <path> to list each indiivdual emulator as i described before.
