RE: Windows Media Player Ghost Image

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello James,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

>From your post, if you are using Norton Ghost to create a ghost image, it
appears that this is a third-party software related issue so that I suggest
you first contact the manufacturer of the third party application to see if
there is any more information about this issue. Please feel free to involve
me during the process of contacting the third party application support,
please feel free to involve me and I am very glad to be of any assistance
regarding this special problem. I have copy/paste the third party support
web site for your convenience:

| I am creating a ghost image of a Windows XP SP2 w/Windows Media Player 9
| and after imaging a desktop shortcut is created for all users that login
to
| the Computer to Windows Medial Player. The player shortcuts on the
desktop
| and Start Menu are
| named as if I branded it with our organization's name instead of Windows
| Media Player.
|
| Any help greatly appreciated
