I found "eshell.exe" in Windows/ehome. But when I right click on it I don't
have a "pin" option, and when I try to run it as admin, I get a message
"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a
restriction policy. For more information contact your system administrator".

I don't have Local Security settings in Admin tools to change the restrictions?

I fixed it. start, Default Programs, "Set Program Access and Computer
Defaults".
You will see Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. Choose Media
Center. Close out. Now you will see Windows Media Center in your "programs"
list.
