Windows Media Player – Registry settings for first time configuration
One of the things I’ve always hated about media player is the validation and first time configuration that new users have to go through to launch it. Here are the registry settings you need to set in order to “pre-configure” media player. Once you set these settings through a GPO, then media player will open upon the first launch. This will work whether you have MP in your image or if you have an administrative install you are pushing down after the fact.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"AcceptedEULA"=dword:00000001
"FirstTime"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsMediaPlayer]
"GroupPrivacyAcceptance"=dword:00000001
