I'm running Windows Media Player 10 under Windows XP. Plenty of memory, etc.

When I start the player, I would like it to open automatically to the Radio
Tuner. Using tips found on Microsoft's Web site for Windows Media Player, I
set up a shortcut with a command line switch ("C:\Program Files\Windows Media
Player\wmplayer.exe" /"Task RadioTuner"). When I execute it, the player loads
just fine, but then can't open windowsmedia.com/radiotuner/MyRadio.asp or the
Guide. Instead, the URL button to the right of the Stop, Home, and Refresh
buttons offers this error message, "WARNING! Web page is from an unknown
source." If I then click on the Guide button at the top of the page, the
Guide opens right up and I can click my way to the Radio Tuner. (Curiously,
when I then click on the windowsmedia.com button that replaces the WARNING, I
get a Certificate Information box saying "This type of document does not have
a security certificate.")

Any idea what is blocking the player from directly opening the Radio Tuner?
Is the problem in the player settings, my IE settings, Internet security
settings, or somewhere else?

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

The RadioTuner task doesn't really exist any more, I don't think. So you're
seeing about the right thing, although it seems that the tag should be
deprecated, removed, or fixed...

Where is this documented?

#1 MSN Search & #2 Google hit for "/Task Radiotuner" :-)

It's also listed in your own FAQ

I think that commandlineparameters doc came from my FAQ, and probably needs
to be updated. It (obviously) looks like Task:Radiotuner was taken out.
