I couldn't get NPVR to launch with the green button on the remote - Even though I'd set the option in the config and renamed EHTRAY.EXE as documented it just wouldn't work for me..... Until I hit on an epyphany.
I didn't want to scrap the built in remote support and go for HIP or similar for the sake of one button so instead I used a BAT2EXE util to make an executable called EHSHELL.EXE in c:\windows\ehome that simply launched NPVR.EXE -
This way (After putting EHOMETRAY.EXE back) hitting the greenbutton gets Windows to attempt to Launch Media Center but instead it runs EHSHELL.EXE which runs NPVR - Problem solved.
