A library fom a deleted user account still shows in my Windows Media Player "other libraries".

I created a couple of local user accounts on my computer that I deleted later.  Even if the user accounts are no longer on my computer, their libraries still appear in Windows Media Player "Other libraries" on my system and for other people on my network. How can I get my computer to stop sharing of libraries that do not exist?

In fact, I don't want one of my libraries in ANY of my user accounts appears on the computers of other network users.  How do I stop sharing libraries?

Open services.msc and find the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If you stop and disable the service, that the libraries should no longer appear on other computers.

But if you had a deleted user who always showed upward, you will have to dig into the registry to fix. I had the same problem with a deleted user and only just found out how to remove it.
First you must find the SID of the user removed before removing all the elements in the registry.
Look in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. There are sub keys that represent the SIDS of the users of the system. When click on each sub-cles see you on the right side ProfileImagePath that can help determine who the user is.
Once you have the SID go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PREFERENCES\HME if you use 32 bit 8 Win). Here will be locked by using the same SID you found under the ProfileList key. Delete the main folder that relates to the SID, you want to remove. To remove the SID folder, you may need to take ownership of the folder SID key.
Then go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Media Player NSS\3.0\Media servers. Here will be another folder related to SID that you remove. After the two keys were removed, restart the Windows Media Player network sharing service.

  • Software BlackBerry BlackBerry Link cannot display Windows Media Player library

    BlackBerry link shows me an empty m usic library even if I have thousands of tracks in my Windows Media Player library. There was a time, it worked, but since a month Blackberry link displays a message: "there is no track in your Windows Media Player library. I reinstalled the software a bunch of times and have always chosen the Windows Media Player - not have iTunes installed. All other functions operate.

    Anyone an idea what to do?

    Thank you very much!

    BlackBerry OS 10.2.1

    Windows Media Player 12.0 (32 bit)

    Solved it myself:

    I deleted the Windows Media Player library database (= all files in the C:\Users\NAMEOFTHEUSER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media drive) - therefor I had to close all programs (all programs BB, the wmplayer and wmplayer network service). After the removal of the database, Windows Media Player has revamped its database and link BB finds the database.

  • I have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the Windows Media Player library

    Original title: Player Windows medis library - Playlist trouble

    -J' have music files in my playlists that I can't make it appear in the library - how can I sync the two up - I tried the usual fall / drag...

    Hello

    1. is the specific issue of the reading list?

    2 are you able to add other songs in the Windows Media Player library?

    3 did you changes to the computer before the show?

    The Player library is the location in the player that lists all of the music, videos and photos on your computer.

    When you play a media file on your computer or a removable storage device, the file is automatically included in the Player library, so you can access it directly from the reader. And if you have access to remote media stored on other computers on your network, you can change the player settings to add those files remotely to the Player library when you play them. The reader does not automatically add a file that you play from removable media, such as a CD or DVD.

    Since you aren't able to add songs to the library, you can try the following and see if they help.

    Great question!
    I think VLC Media Player lets save you a playlist to the file. You can find for free on the Internet.
    Click view > Playlist > when you add a folder (where all your music is) to the media library, it is added to the primary selection. In the main console of VLC media player, click media and Save Playlist to file. Economy and HTML. Win you my documents folder. Open Internet explore and print it.
