===Removed features=== *'''Joining a [[Windows Server domain]]''': The ability to join an [[Active Directory]] domain is disabled by default. Computers that upgrade to Windows Media Center from a version of Windows that had joined the domain before upgrade will remain joined to the domain. However, if they leave the domain, they may never re-join. The option to join a domain during installation of this version of Windows is still available. Microsoft says that the reason for this discontinuation of feature is to support Media Center Extenders which required [[Fast User Switching]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887212|title=You cannot join your computer to a domain in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005|date=November 19, 2004|work=Support|publisher=[[Microsoft]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051101091747/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887212|archive-date=November 1, 2005}}</ref> It is possible to re-enable joining a domain by modifying the Windows registry.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/183884-30-joining-domain-windows-media-center-2005|title=Joining a domain with Windows Media Center 2005|date=July 12, 2005 |access-date=2011-04-07}}{{dead link|date=May 2015}}</ref> *'''[[Windows Media Player]] 6.4''', which was hidden in most Windows XP editions and came shipped with [[Windows 2000]] and can be installed on [[Windows 95]], [[Windows NT 4.0]] and [[Windows 98]], was removed. The [[Media Control Interface|MCI]] version of Media Player, Media Player 5.1, also hidden in Windows XP, remains.
