If you set

<xsl:param name="htmlhelp.hhc.show.root" select="0"/>

you will get what you want, except that instead of TitlePage you will 
see text Table Of Contents. To change this to your text, you must add 
following template into your customization layer (changes are near to 
***TitlePage*** text):

<xsl:template match="book" mode="hhc">
  <xsl:variable name="title">
    <xsl:if test="$htmlhelp.autolabel=1">
      <xsl:variable name="label.markup">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label.markup"/>
      </xsl:variable>
      <xsl:if test="normalize-space($label.markup)">
        <xsl:value-of 
select="concat($label.markup,$autotoc.label.separator)"/>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:call-template name="escape-attr">
      <xsl:with-param name="value">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:if test="$htmlhelp.hhc.show.root != 0 or parent::*">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;LI&gt; &lt;OBJECT 
type="text/sitemap"&gt;
      &lt;param name="Name" value="</xsl:text>
          <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($title)"/>
      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
      &lt;param name="Local" value="</xsl:text>
          <xsl:call-template name="href.target.with.base.dir"/>
      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
    &lt;/OBJECT&gt;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:if 
test="part|reference|preface|chapter|appendix|bibliography|article|colophon|glossary">
    <xsl:variable name="toc.params">
      <xsl:call-template name="find.path.params">
        <xsl:with-param name="table" 
select="normalize-space($generate.toc)"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;UL&gt;</xsl:text>
      <xsl:if test="contains($toc.params, 'toc') and 
$htmlhelp.hhc.show.root = 0 and not(parent::*)">
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;LI&gt; &lt;OBJECT 
type="text/sitemap"&gt;
          &lt;param name="Name" value="***TitlePage***"&gt;
          &lt;param name="Local" value="</xsl:text>
              <xsl:call-template name="href.target.with.base.dir"/>
          <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
        &lt;/OBJECT&gt;</xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:apply-templates 
select="part|reference|preface|chapter|bibliography|appendix|article|colophon|glossary"
			   mode="hhc"/>
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/UL&gt;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
