Creating a rule to stop windows media player

[Shankle]

I have tried to create a rule to stop the constant
outgoing messages from Windows Media Player.
direction "out", action "deny"
SS then told me the rule was to simple.
I clicked on apply and ok anyway.
From first short test I am not being annoyed by the constant request from an outgoing message for Windows Media Player.
Is there somthing else I need to add to the rule and HOW do I do it.
Thanks

Nothing special . You just need to define the rule as Deny , Out , TCP&UDP and select the WMP's exe file in the Local tab

Thank you HiTeck_boy for responding.
I followed your instructions to the letter
and when I booted up the Puter, I got
4 of the requests for an outgoing message from
Windows Media Player.
I am at a loss except for deleting Windows Media Player.

May you post an extended screenshot like this one?

And here is how you should repond IMO

If even after that there is still a pop-up (but the same) , perhaps there is something in ESS which makes it not save the rules. You should try to reinstall ESS if the rule creation fails again

Hello,

I found a message thread in another web forum here (http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?&showtopic=18481) explaining how to enable Windows Media Player so it looks up information from the Internet.

Perhaps follow the steps in message #4, but deselecting (unchecking) the options will prevent your copy of Windows Media Player from connecting to the Internet?

Thanks guys.
I think that following your suggestions I have
finally got the bloody think stopped.
