HOW TO CONFIGURE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER
TO OPEN MEDIA LIBRARY WHEN LAUNCHED
Windows Media Center is a digital video recorder and media player developed by Microsoft. It is an application that allows users to view and record live television, as well as organizes and plays music and videos. The application is included in various versions of Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate and all editions of Windows 7 except for Starter and Home Basic editions.
When Windows Media Center opens up it opens with a default animation page and then the user must manually select the music, video or the live TV option etc.
There are ways that allow the user to open the Windows Media Center directly with a library
Here’s how to do that
Right click on the Windows Media Center icon on the desktop
Go to “Properties”
In the target you would find the value “ %windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe ”
Leave a space after %windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe ” and type in the value
/homepage:MusicBrowsePage.xml /PushStartPage:True and then click on "Apply" and then "OK"
Note: This would open up Music Library by default when you open the Windows Media Center
If you would want to open Pictures Library by default, change the value to /homepage:PhotosBrowsePage.xml /PushStartPage:True
If you would want to open Videos Library by default, change the value to /homepage:VideosBrowsePage.xml /PushStartPage:True
