w/remote desktop, can mediaplayer keep playing on disconne..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.multimedia.windows.mediaplayer,microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

Are there any setting that will allow mediaplayer to continue playing music
that is started on the remote machine even when disconnecting?

I'm not logging off, I am just closing the window. On doing so, I get a
warning say that I'l be disconnected but that my programs will continue
running - but media play does not continue as stated. I've got my setting
such that the sound is kept at the host computer (I'm trying to control a
computer that has all my CD's on hard drive in WMA, and is connected to my
stereo system downstairs.)

Thanks,
Stan

This is supposed to work with SP2, although there has been 1 report of
it not working...
