SUMMARY

This article describes how to prevent the Favorites Media folder from being created during an unattended installation of Windows 2000.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Extract the Mplayer2.in_ file from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.
  2. In the [WMPReg.Core] section of the Mplayer2.inf file, change the value for the following line from "Yes" to "No":

    HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup","FavoritesURLs"

  3. Copy the Mplayer2.inf file to the source folder, and then rename the Mplayer2.in_ file to Mplayer2.old.
  4. Because the driver signature is missing on the .inf files that you are using, add the following line to the [Unattended] section of your unattended script file to prevent a driver signature error message:

    DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
