    Hi Narduke,

    You will have to set them up manually.

    In the Run terminal type regedit. When Registry Editor window open, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButton.
    You will see three folders 1, 2 and 3. If you won't see them you will have to create them.

    Right click on the HotStartButton and choose New, next Key and name it 1.
    Then right click the new 1 button, choose New, next StringValue and name it ApplicationPath.
    Right click the ApplicationPath key and choose Modify, then type with the quotes "C:Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe".
    Your done with the first one.

    Repeat the steps with creating the the new buttons and entries in 2 and 3 key.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ControMobilePC\HotStartButtons\1]
    "ApplicationPath"= "C:Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButtons\2]
    "ApplicationPath"= "C:Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe" directmedia:music"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MobilePC\HotStartButtons\3]
    "ApplicationPath"= "C:\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe" directmedia:discplayback"

    Reboot you pc and enjoy. Cheers...
