Possiblel hole in Windows Media Player.

I came upon a problem yesterday as I was pushing out Windows Media
Player 9 out to all my users. The security tab under the options menu
allows the user to alter Internet Explorer's security settings. 

I have a Group Policy that removes the security tab from Internet
Explorer however; if you don't set the HideSecurityTab policy for Media
Player you can override the settings of Internet Explorer. Not good.

So for everyone trying to control your user's browsing experience you
may want to check this out. 

Thanks
