I think I figured out the return issue. I have added a "TV Series" Menu to my Main Menu using this code.
In "Includes_Main_Menu.xml" you will find three different categories for the "item id"'s:
(A) <include name="MainMenu">
(B) <include name="VirtualMainMenu">
© <include name="VirtualMainMenuOptions">
I have added the following strings for these categories:
** Remember to change the "\\XX\Media\TV Series" to the directory you wish to use.
Paste into category (A)
<item id="28">
<description>TV Series</description>
<label>33001</label>
<onclick>Skin.SetBool(videotv)</onclick>
<onclick>Skin.Reset(videomovies)</onclick>
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyVideoLibrary,\\XX\Media\TV Series)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(notvshows)</visible>
</item>
Paste into category (B)
<item id="28">
<description>TV Series</description>
<label>33001</label>
<onclick>Skin.SetString(customsingle,CustomTV)</onclick>
<onclick>Skin.SetString(customslideshow,\\XX\Media\TV Series)</onclick>
<onclick>SetFocus(92)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(notvshows)</visible>
</item>
Paste into category ©
<item id="28">
<description>TV Series</description>
<label>31014</label>
<onclick>Skin.SetBool(notvshows)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(notvshows)</visible>
</item>
<item id="28">
<description>TV Series</description>
<label2>31014</label2>
<onclick>Skin.Reset(notvshows)</onclick>
<visible>Skin.HasSetting(notvshows)</visible>
</item>
*********
This set up should return you to the main menu, however... I am unable to get a full context menu in the newly created menu category. I am unable to scan for new content because it's not in my context menu options. I don't if something is entered incorrectly in the code, or if I am missing a string altogether.
I hope this helps you out, and if anyone knows how to fix the context menu problem, please post to let us know. Thanks.

I've registered with the site just so I could post here to show my support. Quite frankly, I think it's a great idea.
I built a small, but efficient computer that sits next to my bed that is hooked to a 22" lcd that's mounted on the wall in such a way that it's perfect for viewing while sitting or laying on the bed. I was planning on using vanilla XBMC on it, but came across Aeon and was stunned, as it made the idea that I had that much richer (pimp :-P).
I figure I'll never use the "music" or "pictures" option on the menu bar, but I never saw any built-in options to change them to something of my choice. I understand the creators wanting to work with a set idea, but honestly I have no use for music next to my bed coming from those teeny-tiny lcd speakers.
If you can figure out a way to mod/change menu items to custom categories, that would be swell. I'd love to have the ability to sync up my cartoons, anime, movies and tv shows to their own menu bar spots just because I would personally find that more aesthetically pleasing.
BUT! That's just me. I realize I'm in a minority here, but again... I just wanted to show my support for the idea and the fact that someone is taking action to do something like this. (I can't code at all, so I'm totally relying on someone else's work. I'll totally cheer you on, though!)

I would like to hear how this turns out, because I download a lot of movie trailers and I would like a seprate area for them all. This would work perfectly.
" and I now see that it was not the correct way to go about it...
