Media Folder Favorites Are Installed When Disabled with IEAK 5.01 Wizard (255807)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit 5.01
This article was previously published under Q255807 SYMPTOMS
Favorites may be installed under the Media folder even though they should not be per the policy set in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) Wizard.
CAUSE
The Wmp.adm file from the IEAK\Policies\En folder does not
properly set the restrictions for NoMediaFavorites and NoCodecDownload
because it does not contain "Part" references in the policy.
RESOLUTION
Manually edit the Wmp.adm file as follows or import the Wmp.adm file from IEAK 5.0. The corrected IEAK 5.01 Wmp.adm file should appear as:
; wmp.adm
