I did this and it fixed the problem. However, it breaks two programs here: 1. I run a little background program called QuickReply (http://www.erstenware.com/?qr2). It runs as an icon in the System Tray as a process. After making the fix you recmmended, I can see the process running in Task Manager, but there's no icon in the System tray, and I can't access it.
2. I also run Desktop Sidebar (http://www.desktopsidebar.com/index.html). One of its features is that it lets me put a Media Player control bar in it. I can then start Windows Media Player (for example, playing a radio station) and close it; the station continues to play, and I can control it from the Desktop Sidebar. After making your fix, when I close Media Player, the sound stream stops and the sidebar control doesn't work. I have no idea why this registry change had these two effects, but it seems to be the case. I observed that behavior in two spearate boots after applying the change. I then removed the change and both problems went away. Number 2 is a minor inconvenience that I could live with, but I need the QuickReply program. Any thoughts on either or both of these?
