WMP Security tip

[JacK]

Hi ;)

Prevent script based attacks on Windows Media Player

. Regedit
. Go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences
. Create a new DWORD value
. name : "PlayerScriptCommandsEnabled" value : 0

It will prevent WMP to open Webpages containing scripts.

Thanks Jack. :)

That's rather interesting, to say the least...

I wonder what other code is hidden in WMP? Time to start creating lots of random registry entries to see what else I can get disabled ;).

Glad you like it.

I figured since we were starting to see exploits relating to WMP scripting, that it was necessary to help people disable scripting in WMP as soon and as easily as possible.
