Disable the Windows Media Player wizard on first run
Michael Petersen – 22nd May 2009
Ever get annoyed that your users have to run trough the media Player 11 wizard, the first time they launch the program. Well I do, and in general my customers do to..

The fix however is quit simple. All you have to do is set the AcceptedPrivacyStatement key to 1 in the registry, under HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
« AcceptedPrivacyStatement »=dword:00000001

The obvious problem of cause, is the fact that the key is under current_user, which means that the user needs to be logged on to windows, when the key is added.. This can be automated by setting the reg key with “Active Setup” which I will explain in my next post..
