I was wondering if there is a way to keep WMP 10 playing when you switch
users? If I switch users on my XP pro SP2 machine with WMP 10 playing it
stops when the second user logs in.

thanks

You can set
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\P references
value StopOnFastUserSwitch to REG_DWORD value 0 and have that work, but it
is totally unsupported. =)

Well I gave that a try and it doesn't work. I'd read that that key worked in
WMP 9 but it's not for version 10 - anybody have any insight here?

thanks
