Hi. I usually disable access to Windows Media Player through Default Programs -> Set program access and computer defaults. I use it to disable access to IE as well. However, under Server 2008, this option doesn't seem to appear under Default Programs. Does anyone know a workaround?

Thanks,
Kaiting.

Yep, there is a workaround:
In the Searchbox of the Start menu or in Start -> Run, enter: ComputerDefaults

There is probably a registry key so you also see this option in Control Panel\Default Programs, but for now you can use this. ;)
