    How do I make a desktop shortcut to a radio station?


    Is it possible to make a WMC shortcut that will open a station on my radio tuner? As it is, I have to open WMC, then go to music, then click on the preset station from there. Having a shortcut that would lead directly to my radio station would be awesome.

    Thanks. :)

    For the TV portion of WMC to work, then of course WMC has to be loaded first. LOL



    Too bad there isn't even a shortcut here for Live Radio. <sigh>

    Here is the Radio portion:

    Ahh, just noticed your previous post said click on it. I did that and saw your answer to this on another post. I will give it a whirl. Thanks. :)

    The text of the link given was profided by the thread starter.

    Follow the posted link and create the desired desktop short - once setup, just double click it and WMC will start and go right to Live Radio at the station you last used...not sure if Live Radio will appear in the Jump List for WMC, perhaps if you used it more often as the lists are usage based.

    Ok, tried to make the shortcut but the radio wouldn't start correctly.



    For some reason, it doesn't go to 104.9?

    Also, the Media Center Gadget doesn't have a way to go to any of the Music features such as Radio.

    Which did you try?

    %SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe /homepage:Radio.BrowsePage.xml /PushStartPage:True - Radio
    %SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe /homepage:Radio.xml - FM Radio

    There is NO selection for the Gadget to use Radio. I slid the slider up and down, but all it offers are Video selections.

    Also, what I used was:
    c:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe /homepage:Radio.xml - FM Radio
