Deleted Windows media playlists back

I have a few Windows Media playlists I want in particular to remove it from my computer, so I just delete Windows Media Player.

That's fine, except some time later Windows Media Player to find them again, so I have to get rid of them yet!
I solved the problem (I hope!) by moving them to a "Dead_playlists" folder and changing the extension so that WMP can recognize is no longer with them.
Is this a bug or just a 'feature' of the current WMP?

    Hello. I am currently looking for a way to queue files flv and mp4 in WMP 11 in Windows Vista. I used to be able to do with Shark007 Windows Vista installed Codec, but I recently replaced it with a combination of ffdshow, Haali Media Splitter and open source Flash Video Splitter; This combination has been recommended as being superior to my old codec pack.

    Copy-paste all below into Notepad and save it as FLVMP4Enqueue.reg. Then double-click on this file to add it to the registry. After that, you may have to reassociate the FLV/MP4 files with WMP, via Control Panel - default programs .

  • Windows media player libraries

    The problem is simple. When I work with my WMP library and delete a folder. for example, my pictures and my videos; they stop to allow me access to their subfolders in my OS library, if you use windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with WMP12.

    This means that... I exclude my pictures folder in the application of WMP and I then cannot access in my library to explore as well. To access it in the Solution Explorer, I have to 'include a folder '. I once then re-included the folder my pictures, and my videos... I am able to access their subfolders in Explorer... and this translates into my WMP with these libraries available to update my information on the media.

    I made this several times and it's starting to annoy me a little since I only want--and I want to say ONLY... my MUSIC library to be included as a source for my WMP library.

    To summarize:

    1. out of my photos and my videos as a library in WMP makes it IMPOSSIBLE to access in my library OS browser explore.

    2. to access the libraries excluded my WMP library... I include in my Explorer OS to access them and their subfolders.

    3. once I re - include these folders... WMP starts to update the information on the media of the respective files in my Windows Media Player library.

    I want to access my OS Explorer and make them unavailable for my Windows Media Player. Please tell me how to do it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    From your problem description, I understand that when you delete files from the Windows Explorer is removed if deleted Windows Media Player. Please let me know if you do not experience this problem.

    It is design when you delete the folder of Windows Media Player, it will be deleted in the Explorer and you can not access the subfolders and we need include folders.

    Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need help with Windows in the future. We will be happy to help.
