3/12/2014
The registry stores information necessary to configure the system for applications and hardware devices. The registry also contains information that the operating system continually references during operation.
The registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Control controls the behavior of the Windows Media Player control. The following table describes the named values for this subkey.
Note
The default registry values vary depending on which catalog items are included in your OS design.
| Value : type | Description |
|---|---|
URLFlipping : REG_DWORD |
Determines whether to allow scripts embedded in .asf files to cause the media player to start a web browser and display a page that compliments the media content during media playback, also known as URL flipping. Default setting is 1. Set this value to 0 (zero) to disable URL flipping, or set it to 1 to enable URL flipping. If URL flipping is disabled through this registry setting then there is no other way to enable URL flipping. Specifically, changes made to the Windows Media Player control's InvokeURLs property will have no effect. However, if flipping is enabled through this registry setting then the InvokeURL property of the Windows Media Player control can be used to change the player's URL flipping behavior. .gif "Ee484960.security(en-us,WinEmbedded.70).gif") Security Note:
Malicious software may attempt to compromise the security of the Windows Media Player control by causing the media player to start a web browser set to an unsafe URL. To help prevent URL flipping to unsafe URLs, set the InvokeURLs property to FALSE, or set the URLFlipping registry setting to 0 (zero).
