I have gt the same as you have suggested me to and now the animation part is skipped and i am redirected directly to the task of it. But want to make more customization so if possible then help me with this also. What if i want to look at things from right to left? So suggest me something for this too. A help may be appreciated.

To work with the look at things from right to left you have to perform the same task as you have done for skipping the animation of the Windows 7 Media Center. Just go to the shortcut tab and then to the target and again at the end of the target address type the "/rtl" so your address will become like "%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe /rtl". So do the same.
