Is it possible for an administrator to disable "ripping" within Windows Media Player? I would like to leave the player installed for viewing video clips, but don't want students filling up HD with ripped music. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Not to answer your question, but a side note. My employer disabled just about everything media related, except WMP. I used to be able to use shoutcast, and internet feeds, but they took that away as well. So I just brought in a DVD full of songs and copied them to my HDD to listen to. There's nothing saying your students couldn't do the same?!? Just another thing to think about.
