To set security preferences
- On the Windows Media Player menu, click Preferences, and then click the Security tab.
- Select or clear the following check boxes:
- Run script commands when present
Some digital media files contain script commands. When you play the file, the commands are run. In most cases, the commands are beneficial. For example, some content providers use script commands to automatically open associated Web pages when you play a file. However, a content provider could include commands that are annoying (such as opening an excessive number of browser windows) or even malicious (such as deleting files on your computer).
This checkbox specifies whether to allow script commands to run when you play files in the standalone Player (as opposed to a Player embedded in a Web page).
- Do not run script commands and rich media streams if the Player is running inside a Web page
This checkbox specifies whether to allow scripts and rich-media streams to run when you play files in a Player that is embedded in a Web page. Rich-media streams are streaming media files that contain a Microsoft Office PowerPoint® slide show, still images, or other content. They are created by using programs such as Microsoft Producer for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003.
