I usually use the advanced MCE remote mapper because it allows me to program the 1 - 9 keys like the letters on the telephone and I need a shutdown button programmed to power down my NUCs. If you could somehow add that functionality, I would be all in with CMC remote mapping.
Please post a detailed feature request.

You really need a prompt to say "Hey nitwit, Turn on Administrator rights!!!!"
My plan is to eliminate the requirement to start CMC as administrator, and instead when you click to update the registry, it would automatically start a second process as administrator (Windows would ask for permission, of course) which would do the update. That way, you don't even have to get out your keyboard to get admin rights.

Also for the "Windows" Button. Could you call it MCE or WMC button? I think that is what it was originally called. Either that, or can you provide icons showing what the buttons look like?
I probably can change the name. It's always hard to change things after I've released CMC into the wild, because I will have to also add a mapping function to change the old/original value to the new value. I'm not sure about adding icons, I think my time might be better spent elsewhere.

It is not generating the other log file.
I think that is a big clue, though I'm having trouble piecing it all together. I can think of two possibilities:
1) You didn't run as administrator with Debug Logging enabled and click Update Registry (it sure sounds like you did, so please don't get defensive, but I don't want to rule this out as a possibility, even unlikely as it may be)
2) Somehow the registry update function is not being called. I can't imagine how that would happen. I just reviewed the function, and the first thing it does is write a header to the debug log file, so if the function is being called, then the debug log file should be there even if only a header.
So neither of those sound very likely, but it's all I've got. Of the two, I'm thinking option 1 is more likely. As Jamie pointed out, CMC just sits there like a dumb log when you click the update option without admin rights, so I think it is an easy and honest mistake to make.
Also, when you successfully update the registry, CMC will give you several confirmation prompts (Registry Updated, Shortcut Created, etc.). If you are not seeing those prompts, while running as Admin, then that's another clue.
