I can't find a way to start Media Center (Win7 64Bit SP1). Just this a.m. it was updating listings. I did just install (5) windows updates.

It's no longer listed via Start / All Programs, searching doesn't find it either.

I don't see anything with the name "Media Center" listed under C:\Program Files either.

Is there a place to look for the executable, I'll try to start it that way.

Thanks

I was able to start media center using this command via cmd prompt.

Code:
C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe

I pinned to start and task bar. Don't know why "search" etc. didn't find it earlier.
