About Windows Media Center
It is a program used as a multimedia entertainment center of different formats, especially for large home screens.
Windows Media Center is now discontinued and is not offered in any recent versions of Windows.
It first appeared in the year 2002 with Windows XP.
In this case, the MCL file contains settings for the application's name, location, and launch options, and in turn, serves as a shortcut to launch a specific application within WMC.
Although MCL files are commonly used during the application development process, their use in installing and launching applications is discouraged.
MCL files are opened by the WMC host, which is a program called ehshell.exe.
MCL files are stored in an XML format.
