Creating Shortcuts for Windows Media Center on Windows 7

Windows already includes shortcuts to start Windows Media Center in the Start menu. Next, you�ll create advanced shortcuts that will allow you to jump directly to different sections of Media Center. For example, how to make a shortcut that, when clicked, will open Windows Media Center and go directly to the TV Guide. It is also possible to go directly to other sections, such as Live TV, Recorded TV, Pictures, Music, and even Sports Scores.

This is all possible with a special /homepage command-line argument that the Windows Media Center executable uses. First, right-click your desktop and select New and then Shortcut. Next, enter the location as shown in the following options, depending on what you want to happen. Press Next, name the shortcut, and you are finished.
