Remarks

A Web page must first request permission from the user to read information from or write data to the library. Invoking this method prompts the user with a dialog box that requests the specified permission level. This means that certain methods, properties, and events will be inaccessible from code if the appropriate access rights have not been granted. The current access rights level can be retrieved by using IWMPSettings2::get_mediaAccessRights.

Applications running on the user's computer are not required to use this method.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This method always retrieves a VARIANT_BOOL set to TRUE.
