Windows Media Player 9 Series automatically monitors the My Music folder for changes in content. When you use Group Policy to redirect a user's home folder to a network share, Windows Media Player 9 Series monitors the redirected My Music folder, increasing network activity. The player also periodically checks to make sure that the Copy Music path is valid.
To workaround this behavior:
1. DO NOT allow Windows Media Player 9 Series to monitor the redirected My Music folder.
2. Move the Copy Music folder to a location that the user does NOT have access to, which causes Windows Media Player 9 Series to use the My Music folder instead.
NOTE: For information about how to monitor folders, or how to copy music, see the Windows Media Player 9 Series Help documentation.
