Remove icons from the Startup folder
Some programs open with a shortcut icon in the startup folder (Startup
icons). Use the following steps to show any startup icons that may be hidden
and remove startup icons from the startup folder:
NOTE: Removing items from the Startup folder does not uninstall the
software application.

Right-click the Start button, and click Explore. The Windows Explorer window
appears with Start Menu already selected.
Click the plus sign ( +) next to Programs.
Click Startup.
The shortcut icons are listed in the right-side window.
To show any icons that may be hidden, click Tools, Folder Options, and click
the View tab.
Select Show hidden files and folders (Windows XP/ME) or Show all files
(Windows 98), and click OK.
Click an unwanted startup icon from the right side of the window and drag it
to a blank area on the Windows desktop. Release the mouse button to drop the
startup icon onto the desktop.
Continue dragging and dropping unwanted startup icons until all of the
unwanted startup icons are on the desktop. Click Yes to any window that
pops-up asking to confirm the removal of a read-only file.
Close explorer and restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
Delete the startup icons that were moved to the desktop after you are
satisfied with the way the software programs are working.
If you find that a particular software program should not have been removed
from the startup folder, double-click the startup menu item to open the
startup window and drag and drop the startup icon from the desktop back into
the Startup window.

Not sure if that's what you were looking for but if not and even though I
hate it when I get redirected... Maybe you should ask this question in the
Media Center Forum here:

also you may try a google search.

Good Luck,

Make a new shortcut and set target to %SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe and
Start in C:\Windows\ehome
