  Hi zztopzztop,

  Instead of a new user account, you can move the public folder of music, and from there the two accounts are accessible and played.

  Check out the link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/sharing-files-with-the-public-folder

  If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.

  Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

  a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options

  b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.

  Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).

  Hope this information is useful.

• Cannot delete files from Windows Media Player library.

  Original title: deleting files problem

  I deleted a large number of music of my WMP library & computer files, but they are still listed in WMP. I can't play any of them as they were deleted, and I get a message telling me so when I try! Why are they still displayed in the list and how do I get rid of them? I tried to restart, changing the target folder, etc., without change. I even tried to remove all of the library (but not the computer this time) and they do not always go!

  Hi Jamie,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

  According to the description provided, looks like you are not able to completely remove the files in Windows Media Player.

  I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

  You can try to clear the database of Windows Media Player and check if it clears the titles and generic icons.

  To do this, follow these steps:

  Method 1:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player in the start search box and enter.

  3. Select all the files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

  Note you don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Method 2:

  If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. exit Windows Media Player.

  2. click on Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the start search box and enter.

  3 select the folder Media Player, and then click delete on the file menu.

  4. restart Windows Media Player.

  Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

• Disable the automatic listing in windows media player

  I want to disable the autorating of windows media player. I followed the instructions given by Umesh P. on the forum of windows, but it does not work. I want to give my own opinion as I can arrange the files on the basis of the rating but side auto does not allow me. Any help?

  It's very frustrating to see the auto side.

  Hey all,.

  I found a very simple and effective method to remove windows media player auto rating. I was about to uninstall but then thought to explore further (because have best sound quality windows, Media Player) and found a way to do it.
  Steps to follow:
  1. Select all files
  2 give a rating (1 to 5 stars but not "no stars/unrated"). The yellow/gold star is added and the automatic side Blue Star will be deleted.
  Not assigning "no stars/unrated" will cause the automatic side Blue Star reappear.
  3. now, you can sort your songs.
  4. all the other songs will be listed as 1 star if you chose 1 star in step 2.
  Now, no need to uninstall windows media player. :)

• Transfer a file from Windows Media Player library to iTunes library

  I recently downloaded 5 songs mp3 that I paid for, expecting to go on my iTunes account after the opening of each of them. They went into the Windows Media Player on my computer instead.

  The following article will help to find the music on your computer.

  1. Open iTunes

  5. Find and select the file or folder you want to add

  If iTunes is set to "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library", iTunes copy all content is added to the library of iTunes for the iTunes Music folder. To set this parameter, or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in the iTunes preferences.

• How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

  OK, here's the facts:
  I have Windows Vista.
  Most of my music in my music is missing.
  I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
  In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
  Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
  MP3 audio files are also missing.

  Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

  How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

  Hello

  Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-items-to-the-Windows-Media-Player-library

  Step 2: View the folder hid

• Adding MKV files to Windows Media Player library

  How can I add MKV files in the 'Vidéo' section rather than in the section 'Other' library?

  Copy / paste the following text in Notepad, save it as WMP_MKV.reg , double-click this file to add it to the registry and restart WMP:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.mkv]
  "PerceivedType"="video".
  'Permissions' = dword:0000000f
  "Runtime" = dword:00000007
   
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\MLS\Extensions]
  "mkv"="video".

  After that, MKV files will be added to the video instead to other media (it may be necessary to add new files).

• How can I import playlist .pla files to Windows Media Player?

  I sync between my computer and my (old) mp3 a Philips something or other (I know if this is important). For some reason half of my playlists no longer appear on WMP. However, their corresponding .pla file is always on my mp3 player. I understand that .pla files are empty, but the link to the device and of course db under properties, I see that the pla files contain all the correct tracks. I want to restore these playlists on WMP. Please, is it possible to import these? I tried syncing my mp3 player to my computer by this is not not possible to drag and drop playlists.

  Can you still see the missing playlists on your hard drive?

  You can use Windows search to search for *.wpl and *.m3u, which should bring them up if they have not been deleted. In addition, please check the trash.

• Cannot delete file in windows Media Player

  I can delete video files from Windows Media Player. I think that I deleted them before somehow but standard photos (balloon, balloons) always appear in video library for all deleted files and try right-click and delete is not remove them from the library. There is no error message when you try to remove them and when you try to play them you get Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. I don't want to play the file I want to just delete it.

  You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the library. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt.
