This checkbox will have slightly different behavior depending on whether you have installed iHomeServer in Windows Service or Desktop mode.
In Windows Service mode, iHomeServer will be running iTunes as a service in the background. When this option is checked, iHomeServer will stop the instance of iTunes running in the background when you log into your desktop and start up another instance of iTunes on your desktop. iHomeServer will connect to the instance on the desktop and iHomeServer features will be available again. When you then log off your computer, iHomeServer will restart iTunes back up in the background - this is a new feature in iHomeServer v3 called iHomeServer Foreground / Background switching.
Alternatively, if you have installed iHomeServer in Desktop Mode, this checkbox will simply start iTunes up when you log into your computer's desktop.

If this radio button is selected, it means that iTunes is already running on the desktop. If it isn't selected then you can choose this option to start iTunes on your desktop but under iHomeServer control. If iTunes was running in the background as a Windows Service (if iHomeServer was installed in Windows Service mode), then iHomeServer will shut down the instance of iTunes running in the background, and start a new copy running on your desktop. iHomeServer features will be available again regardless of whether iTunes is running in the desktop or on the Windows Service.
