JSI Tip 7070. Media Player Copy To location points to the administrator profile?

If you are a member of the Administrators group, and your computer was setup with Sysprep, the Windows Media Player Copy To location points to %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Music instead of %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\My Music.

To workaround this behavior, while running the SysPrep tool, delete the CDRecordPath Value Name at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences.

The next time Media Player starts, the player will use the default path.

NOTE: Windows Movie Maker may also experience the same issue.
