Different ways to start Windows Media Center in Windows 7
Microsoft has included several hidden switches in Windows 7, to start up the Windows Media Center (MCE).
You may simply copy-paste them in the start menu and hit enter or you may create a desktop shortcut for them. Changing the way ehshell.exe launches can allow you to disable it upon startup.
/nostartupanimation – Stops startup sound & Windows Media Center logo “pebble” going off into the distance
/noshutdownui – Removes the “shutdown” item from the tasks menu
/mediamode – Starts in media only mode (no close/minimize/maximize options in top right corner)
/widescreen – Start in widescreen mode, even on 4:3 display (windowed only)
/nochrome – Display windowed mode Media Center but without the window chrome
