Windows Media Center in Vista Home Premium

Sometime ago I somehow de - installed Media Center from my computer running
vista home premium.
I cannot find the program in the Start menu to re activate it.
The same thing with sidebar.
Anyone with an idea?

RE: Windows Media Center in Vista Home Premium

Try the following path in your runline -
%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe

Does that launch MCE?

RE: Windows Media Center in Vista Home Premium

Thanks Shane. I tried that but came up with a permission error.
Finally found I had to change my default settings back to Microsoft.
In Control Panel - Default Programs - Set program access and computer
defaults -tick Microsoft button. Thanks Nilocrenrew(6/28/2007).
Suddenly Windows Media Center and SideBar appeared in my Start Menu once
again. Ridiculous!
