Hello
I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.
To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:
1. Since when are you facing the issue?
2. you have any security program installed on the computer?
3 are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?
First of all I suggest you run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check for infections.
Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.
Run the fixit from the link next and if this helps you resolve this problem.
Also have a look at the following Windows help articles:
Change the programs that Windows uses by default
Change the program that opens a type of file
If the previous step fails, then check the status of the question in a new user account.

Windows media player icon library
Hello community, I am a true beginner so please bare with me. When I play my own videos recorded on Window Media Player, there is a 3 library icon that is square at the top right of the image what opening on you allows in other files such as images etc.
When I send this video by email as an attachment and open it in my mail SENT to my computer to check if everything was OK, the library icon is still there on the video to access my computer as before.
(1) can I assume that this icon is only show on my video sent that I use the same computer, he sent.
(2) can I assume that the person who receives the video accessory on e-mail can not see the icon and therefore does not have access to my files on the computer.
The library icon shows that if you go to the bottom of the video to indicate the break game etc, the library icon above as shown right.
I do not share my computer with others.
See you soon
Hello
This icon toggle you between the current playback mode (i.e. When you actually watch the video) and the mode of the library (where you make playlists and put things, etc.). That's all it is - its got nothing to do with which had permission to post this video file on other computers.
When you send the video file to someone by e-mail all that they get is the video file. This file can get opened by Windows Media Player or any other appropriate video player application. If the recipient uses Windows Media Player this icon will behave as it does for you - they can switch between the two modes (but on their computer). Basically, after emailing the video file, it will be then also exists on the hard drive of their computer and they will play them hard drive.
The video file attachment of e-mail in your sent folder exists on your hard drive, not the recipients.
A 'regular' video file, sent by electronic mail does not allow the recipient to access files on your computer, at least that separately configure you access for them in some way.
PS Please be careful opening email attachments (even from people you know) because they can be a source of pollution.

loss of internet explorer. Now by default Desktop Icons in Windows Media
I HIT SOMETHING BY MISTAKE AND LOSS OF THE USE OF INTERNET EXPLORER AND WINDOWS MEDIA HAS TAKEN OVER MOST OF MY ICONS ON MY DESKTOP
EVERYTHING THAT I TOUCHED WINDOWS MEDIA APPEARS, EVEN BASED ON MICROSOFT. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET IT BACK?Hi Cynthia,.
Do you know when this started? If so, try a system restore to before it started to see if that helps. If you use Windows 7, seehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, seehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. Sometimes this simple process made the rounds and sometimes that doesn't help - but it is easy and worth if she has recently begun.
If you are unable to access the internet (or even the system restore), tries to boot mode safe mode with networking and see if that helps. If not, see if you can use a disk recovery or the Setup disk to access the options of recovery in this way. If you need help, I need to know your operating system, manufacturer, brand and model of your computer, and what drives you are available now.
If you can access the internet somehow, if you are using Vista, go tohttp://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll to the EXE and click or double-click it to run the program to restore EXE file associations. Once done, do the same for LNK entry. That should restore your programs. If you use Windows 7, go to http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. If you are using XP, go to http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm. NOTE: I think this is the real answer to the problem and the question in this case, I've rarely seen in combination, is how to perform the procedures with your system in its current state.
We will check the alteration that may have been caused by this problem:
Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228).
While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run. They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot. Answer Yes and restart to run the program. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.
If that can't find something problematic (and maybe especially if this is the case), then we will make a thorough for malware check to exclude:
First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).
Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).
Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:
You are running Microsoft Security Essentials?
If Yes: start here - https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/ and select the link that says - I think my computer is infected - and support and select the option for phone, chat or email (options vary depending on the region)

Icon for Windows Media Player in the taskbar
I changed the icon of the shortcut of Windows Media Player. When I open Windows Media Player, I would like the icon in the taskbar to be the same icon for the shortcut. How can I accomplish this?
Windows 10.
As you can see in the video, I followed the 'instructions' perfectly exactly, but clicking on the newly pinned icon translates into an 'extra' icon (the icon of Windows Media Player). Of course, the pinned custom icon remains, of course, but another appears. And it happens the same on all operating systems that allow pinning to taskbar (7, 8, 8.1 and 10.) If you can show otherwise I'll PayPal payment for your trouble.
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=pyAp__HIjLA&feature=youtu.beHere are the exact same steps in Windows 7 and 8.0. I showed more top 10. I would like to know if you want in addition to the 8.1. They are all identical.

In windows media player, cannot change the album art view in the list of music icon.
* - Original title - in windows media player, I can not change the album art view in the list of music icon...
I recently deleted a lot of my music library, the Media Player (not while in the music folder in my library, but all using the MP). but now, in the classic view (and when I click on an album cover to view follow-up for an artist or album), it will only allow me see the tracks/albums with expanded tile or Details views we don't let me use the display of the icon; Indeed, this listening option is grayed out. I don't know what I did, but before that I deleted the music I could see the icon display in the library. Can I fix somehow?
Here's how I put it in an e-mail to a friend, maybe the problem is clearer in this way:
Very well - so the other night, I did a purge in my music folder, deleting a lot of tracks how much I did not listen. I was doing this WMP. Now, the default view in my WMP since always the view icon, with the great icons of the album covers next to the track. (large, compared to other views) But now, I can't get that discover more, not when I'm looking for the titles of music st - only when I look by Album, artist, Genre or year. In the opinion of music suddenly the only options I been authorized were expanded tile and details - icon option is grayed out and the purge he was not! I looked in the WMP folder in Program Files and there was a folder called icons; It was empty. I had never watched there before; so I don't know if this is normal or not. How can I fix it? I remove and reinstall WMP?
Had the same problem and you probably already figured out the answer, but it's here... Media Player 12.
HERE a THE FIX... go to the top near the top of the media player window and directly to the left of the search bar in the media player is a drop down for the choice of the view menu. It is somehow changed to "Détails" view in the mine... CHANGE "Expanded Tile" view and your icon appears again in the Middle as I had initially. ;)

Where is my Windows Media Player icon?
I have tried to import my songs from my other computers for the background music for family videos edited. All of a sudden my icon for Windows Media Player is missing. I had an icon for it on my desktop. I went to "set your default programs" and that is, but I can't get an icon here to put it on the desk. When I type "Windows Media Player" in the search box, it says that there is no match. Windows Media Player does not appear under "All programs" or above this area. Where is it and how do I get it back? I have a separate drive of M:\ I want that all my music files to be stored on. But I find that there are a few music files on my drive C:\ It's a SSD and I don't want that he filled with music files, so how can I move these music files located on the C:\ drive on my drive M:\? All my music files on the m:\ can also be linked to the music library? How can I link these music files in the music library, but still they are stored on my M:\ drive. Can you give me simple instructions how to do this? How can I search my computer all music files and files sound effect and bring all stored on my drive M:\? Can you give me simple instructions how do? Thank you. I want to also all my songs in one place and I would like the ordered columns in left to right like: song title, the artist of the song, then, how much min. long is the song and how many MB. is there, then the type mp3, etc and finally the file path. I had some arranged like this, but not all my songs aren't in the same place. I would like them all under a single list and be able to see down how songs and how many hours of total music I have, do I have? Thank you.

Hello
Does anyone know how to solve the problem with the screensaver kick watching a movie using Windows Media Player (WMP), even though I unchecked the option to "allow the screensaver during playback" in WMP?
I found that if I start Windows Media Center (WMC) first and watching TV for example or even listen to music in WMC and then then quit, then load WMP to watch an AVI, after the specified time, the screen saver starts, and the film is no longer visible until I move the mouse to stop the screen saver. I know not if I reboot WMP works perfectly and no screensaver will start, which is not so much that I restart WMC, then switch back to WMP...
