Wmp 9 Outgoing .exe File.
Hello,
Yet another WMP9 Question. Since downloading and installing I have used it without any of the glitches others have reported. However each time I start it my Firewall warns me of an outgoing exe file and of course gives me the IP address. I blocked it each time and each time my F/W (Sygate) states that it has blocked this file outbound via TCP and supplies an 8 -10 digit numeric code instead of a filename.
Has anyone any idea what this is ? Is it my 'unique registration number' so that Microsoft can then identify my player and keep tabs on what I watch 'In order to ensure I derive maximum benefit from this fine product.' ???
One way of avoiding this has been to right click / save target as and view from desktop while offline but this is not possible with some streaming media.
Blocking this file has not affected my using WMP9 at all but I'm just curious what this actually is. If its benign then fair enough. But I don't need Mr Gates' help online.
No actual help needed but any input welcome.
