Windows Media Player icon on start menu

[JW]

How can I remove the automatic creation of Windows Media
Player on the start menu for every new user that logs
on. I see in GPO that you can disable the Quick Launch
and desktop icon from being created, but not the start
menu.

Thanks.

if your users are also Admins for your PCs then you can run

cacls C:\WINDOWS\inf\unregmp2.exe /e /c /d user1 user2 ...
(this will protect first-time logged-on users having WMP
shortcuts)
in a batch file as a logon script, or if you have few
users in domain you can do it manually

OR, you can assign a basic and simple batch script as
logon script for users to delete WMP icon from Start Menu
(use %username% instead of real names)

Or restrict the WMP from Group Policy...
