Prevent WMP playing radio (or maybe even accessing the internet?)!

[Koldov]

Hi All,

 

As it says, need to prevent children playing radio stations in Windows Media Player (WMP 12/Windows 7).

 

GPO hopefully or GPP, as Domain and mandatory profiles.

 

Thanks,

 

Kol.

I think you can configure proxy settings in media player. Can't you set a dead proxy? (127.0.0.1)

[Patrick]

User polices > Admin templates > Windows components > Windows media player > networking

 

Then just give it a dead proxy. Should stop it from accessing internet.

Unfortunately not...

 

 

I'd done that, but it didn't seem to work somehow?

 

Gone with Corporate Skin now as I don't seem to able to get into the Guide/Store/Radio section that way.

 

However, they can still go to internet pages such as:

 

Windows Media Guide | Internet Radio

 

and it still plays the stream quite happily...

 

Anyone?
