Board index » Windows Vista » Help find Windows Vista Media Center

Windows Vista30
I upgraded my Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Ultimate. I am trying

to find the "Media Center" that is being advertised as one of the "big

things" in Vista, but I can not find the link. I clicked on the Start

buttom, and scrolled around, and it is not there... I was wondering if

somebody could help me find the the program.

It should be under Start - All Programs - Windows Media Center



the program is located at

C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe

If you check the properties of the shortcut, it looks like this:

If you still cannot locate the shortcut, then try re-creating it on

your desktop:



- Right-click any empty area of your desktop

- Click New, then selct Shortcut

- Type "%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe" (without quotes) and click

Next

- Type "Windows Media Center" for the shortcut name and click FinishPlease report back if this worked for you or not. Thanks.

You have other suggestions, but keep in mind the search function at the

bottom of the start menu. Type Media Center and it should pop up an the

list. This works with any program. Much faster than the start menu IMO.

Dave and others,



Thank you very much for the recommendation. I found the file. However,

once I try launched it I got a message saying that it could not be done,

because of "software restriction policy". I launched the security software

that identifies the restrictions and I have no restriction listed... So I

don't know what to do now... how can I turn the restriction off.... or what

is going on?



In advance, many thanks for your recommendations/suggestions....



Oscar
