Windows Media Player 10 - Security Warning

Question

Whenever I run a video in Windows Media Player 10 a popup Security Warning appears saying 'The current web page is trying to open a page in your Trusted Sites list.  Do you want to allow this? Current Site:  go.microsoft.com Trusted Web Site:  wwwp.musicmatch.com   I have WIN XP HE SP2.  My Trusted Web sites is empty and I ran sfc /scan now, McAfee Virus Scan, Spybot, Adaware, CWShredder, Trojan Remover and the problem persists.  Also It is not allowing me to set my Internet Zone Security Zone setting below 'medium'.   Anyone have ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thank you aps@sun.  That seemed to be my problem.  I changed all the 2101 registry keys to '0' and no popup appeared in WMP 10 as I previously described.   However when I started messing with Internet Options settings the popup came back and I went to the 2101 registry keys and noticed some of the settings changed back to '3' and/or '1'.  I changed then back to '0' and it seems to be working OK with no popup in WMP 10.  I don't know why they changed back but I now know where to look to fix it.

I finally, after several pointless calls and emails to DELL, spent the morning digging around (ie SEARCHING) in the registry, and I managed to make my Dell Dimension 4700 STOP giving that message by changing a registry key...   Renamed From:   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\musicmatch.com   Renamed To:   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\musicNOTmatch.com   Now, while I have stopped the annoying message, I am STILL GRAVELY CONCERNED AS TO WHY MICROSOFT MEDIA PLAYER FEELS THE NEED TO CONNECT TO WWWP.MUSICMATCH.COM IN THE FIRST PLACE.   I find it VERY troubling that DELL is either unable, or unwilling, to provide an answer to the this important question.   Is it because Musicmatch Jukebox is bundled?   Is it because DELL doesn't have the technical knowledge to figure it out?   DELL!  Answers please!   WHY is MICROSOFT media player connecting to MUSICMATCH.COM when it loads???
