If you don’t like the view in which Vista Media Center starts up by default, you can change that using some command line parameters:
| Parameter | Behavior |
|---|---|
| ehshell.exe /directmedia:general | Starts VMC in fullscreen mode |
| ehshell.exe /directmedia:music | Starts VMC in fullscreen mode and navigates to the Music Library |
| ehshell.exe /directmedia:video | Starts VMC in fullscreen mode and navigates to the Video Library |
|
ehshell.exe /directmedia:tv |
Starts VMC in fullscreen mode and navigates to the TV Recordings |
| ehshell.exe /directmedia:pictures | Starts VMC in fullscreen mode and navigates to the Picture Library |
| ehshell.exe /directmedia:discplayback | Starts VMC in fullscreen mode and starts playing a CD or DVD inserted into the drive. |
