This fixes http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2846, which is an issue with bloomberg.com not detecting the windows media player plugin. The site reads the list of plugins off the Navigator object and runs through the list of plugins comparing each with the desired plugin name (Windows Media). This fails in Chrome as the Activex shim is registered by default as the handler for media player, with the name as activex-shim. 

The fix is to split up the Activex shim registration into two, one handling the application/x-oleobject|application/oleobject mime types, and the other handling the windows media player types.

Line 65: L"ActiveX Plug-in shim for the Windows Media Player Activex",
this name seems a bit redundant.  Why not just make it what the name of the
activex control would be in IE?

Please take another look. I have updated the product name to Windows Media
Player on the same lines as wmp.dll
