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



MORE INFORMATION
 Extract the Mplayer2.in_ file from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. In the [WMPReg.Core] section of the Mplayer2.inf file, change the value for the following line from &quot;Yes&quot; to &quot;No&quot;:

HKLM,&quot;Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup&quot;,&quot;FavoritesURLs&quot;

 Copy the Mplayer2.inf file to the source folder, and then rename the Mplayer2.in_ file to Mplayer2.old. 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
