Have you tried using Group Policy?

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Media Player -> Prevent Desktop Shortcut Creation

I wouldn't try to script it, but if you can set it in your image before sysprepping, it may work.

Thanks for the most kind words...

Yes the code looks perfect...
Although you guys seem to have already discovered that the problem lies elsewhere

I recall seeing something online stating that this fix doesn't work on Windows XP SP3 (I am using SP2). That might be the problem.

Thanks bud, much appreciated.
Oh well, there's gotta be another way! Time to go find it.

Does that look right? Maybe the AutoIt wiz Jeff can see if that's right

Thanks

I do coding in AutoIt as well. I'm not as good as Jeff is, though. Any way, your AutoIt code looks correct.

Thanks a lot for the speedy response. It turns out that I did have the correct CLSID but my method was wrong. I have your guidelines put in to AutoIt, now I just need the time to test it! An update will follow.....

I use this registry setting to block the creation of a WMP11 shortcut after Sysprep:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6}]
"StubPath"=-
"HideStubPath"="rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\WINDOWS\INF\wmp11.inf,PerUserStub"

Can anyone find the proper CLSID for Media Player 11??? I have been searching for AGES and can NOT find it. What I'm doing is making a little AutoIt script that will run at GUIRunOnce to set some registry settings for me, and I want to block WMP11 from being on the desktop. Can ANYONE find the bloody thing???

Thanks

Ian
