    Starting MCE 'Live TV' as default Screen when starting after Sleep

    Does anyone know how to configure Vista MCE to return to the 'Live TV' screen
    from a wakeup after Sleep mode?
    Right now, MCE defaults to 'Recorded TV' after restart.
    I would like to have the 'Live TV' default whenever MCE starts/wakes-up.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you for the command-line params. They work well when applied to
    ehshell.exe shortcuts in Startup folder or RUN key in registry. However, I
    am unable to find the place in the system to apply the command-line params
    where Media Center (ehshell.exe) gets re-started from a Sleep wake-up .

    Problem: When shutting down MC with the Sleep option and then resuming PC
    operation (Power button or Keyboard action), Media Center interface always
    continues with 'Recorded TV' screen, even if command-line parameters are
    configured for ehshell.exe in Startup folder and/or RUN registry entry.

    Any thoughts were in the system ehschell.exe can be configured to resume
    from sleep with 'Live TV' as default?

    Thank you for any help.
    D.J.
