I have a gpo for cleaning up the context menu on all my clients from all the extentions installed by software (im a little ocd when it comes to these useless extentions) This works great for everything bar windows media player.

Normally i use group policy preferences but the context menu items for windows media player seem to be stored on diffierent locations on different versions of windows so im using powershell to find the key.


New-PSDrive -Name HKCR -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
$MUIPath = Get-ChildItem "HKCR:\Local Settings\MuiCache" | Where-Object {$_.PSChildName -ne '52C64B7E'}
$MUIPath.PSPath += "\52C64B7E"
Set-ItemProperty $MUIPath.PSPath "@C:\Windows\system32\unregmp2.exe,-9800" "&Add to Playlist"
Set-ItemProperty $MUIPath.PSPath "@C:\Windows\system32\unregmp2.exe,-9801" "&Play"
Set-ItemProperty $MUIPath.PSPath "@C:\Windows\system32\unregmp2.exe,-9991" "&Play"
Pop-Location
[/CODE]

Which changes the menu for media files (ill kill the redundant "play" item later)

The issue im having with this script is that it only works when i run it manually. I have tried creating a scheduled task to run it under system and a full domain admin account with no luck it simply runs forever. Adding it as a powershell login script in the gpo didnt work either.

Id just unregister them but the add to playlist is a useful function. The script is signed and it showed no issue in the powershell debugger.

Any ideas for what the issue might be from powershell gurus ?

    • Yetis often do eat llamas. I'm not guessing.
    • Since I watch on a lot of devices and use the music service, I enjoy it. Like if I was just on PC then yeah use adblock. But I'm on watching on my phone, iPad, and TV and not always on my WiFi. The price is getting a little nuts at this point though.

    • Hitman maker's first showcase will reveal its new James Bond game this week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe IO Interactive is well known for its development of the Hitman series of stealth and assassination games. In a fitting twist, it was revealed back in 2020 that the studio has begun work on a James Bond game, and after years in development, it seems fans are finally getting a look at the project. Announced today, the project now has a title: 007 First Light. The brand-new game will be revealed in an exclusive showcase event. Coming in as the first ever IOI Showcase, it will be held on June 6 at 6pm PDT on the studio's own YouTube channel. "Join us for the first ever IOI SHOWCASE," said the studio in a social media post today. "Set your reminders and don't miss out on the exclusive reveals and information straight from the team!" Aside from 007 First Light information, the showcase will feature new content reveals for Hitman World of Assassination, the IO Interactive-published title MindsEye developed by Build a Rocket Boy, and more. The game is set to follow James Bond in his start as the MI6 special operative that everyone now knows him as. The origin story is said to be inspired by novels of Ian Fleming as well as the movie franchise, but it will be an original narrative by the developer. While we haven't even seen the game in action yet, IO Interactive CEO Hakan Abrak has already said that he hopes the game is successful enough to spawn a trilogy. "I don't want to speak too big about it, but I just hope we'll do a thing that will define James Bond in gaming for years to come," said Abrak last year. "And that is not only one game, but that we create a universe for gamers to own for many years to come that we can grow with that next to the Bond on the movies." While the studio hasn't revealed much more about 007 First Light since its original announcement, it has already been confirmed as coming for the Nintendo Switch 2 console. Other platforms have not been announced just yet, but it should land for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 consoles like the studio's other projects.
