  I have windows 7.  I want to keep windows 7.

  One morning when I open my computer, I found that Windows 10 had been installed without my agreement.  I would not accept the terms and windows 10 has been removed.  However, they have changed my settings where now my default player is itunes instead of Windows Media player.  When they removed ten windows they didn't put my settings back to where they were before

• How can I remove the Windows Media Player library?

  I have Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition and Windows Media Player 12.0.7600.166667.

  I finally got my music organized, so I deleted some files from my computer and moved songs between folders.  It seems that I can't remove all the songs from Windows Media Player which do not exist physically.  I tried to empty my entire library, I could rebuilt it.  In Windows Media Player, I clicked on the music (left), and then I clicked on the first song, hold down the SHIFT key and click the last song so that all my music has been chosen.  Then, I clicked and selected delete.  I said that I wanted to remove JUST the library, no computer.  When he was done, there was still 5501 songs left.  I know that once, I could just delete wmplibrary.db, but I get no hits on that when I get into the field at the bottom of the start menu.  I decided to uninstall Windows Media Player and reinstall, but when I go to start-> Control Panel-> uninstall a program, the only entry I see that looks remotely Windows Media Player is Windows Media Encoder 9 Series... but I wasn't brave enough to try it.

  Any ideas?  Thank you!

  Wow - thank you, my mp3 player thanks and my children thank you!  The convenience store did not help - he told me that my library has been altered... as I didn't know that already!  But the manual method operated very well... but if someone else is reading this for help, I don't have to start my computer in safe mode because one of the files (which was large enough that it WAS probably the file that I needed deleted) was in use with the network share and I had no idea how close anyone who opened.  But in safe mode worked very well.

  Thank you very much for your help!  And thanks for the information on troubleshooting: I had never heard of this before!

• How can I download the windows media player plugin for Google Chrome Windows 8

  In order to load this app on my Toshiba laptop, I've went to the site of bridges of inoperative character for Chrome and could not download anything.

  Help, please. Those of us who are early adopters to win 8 have a hard time with all the applications we want to but because win 8 has not added the correct application for OS 8, we are all dead in the water.
  Thank you.

  I just found how to solve this problem on my computer.

  When you try to download the file, at the bottom of the page download shows at all?
  If so, you need to open another window and paste this address: chrome://extensions/
  This brings you to your page of the extension for Google Chrome. You can also get there click on the menu options on the upper right area of your screen (bounded by three horizontal lines), selecting "Settings", then "Extensions".
  After that you have two windows open, drag the file from download windows media plugin to a window in the other window "Extensions". The Extensions window should say "Drop to install. Then, drop the download folder, and download.
  I hope it works for you!

  Hello

  Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

  Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

  You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

  The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

  Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

  There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

• How to reset the windows media player 12 default settings

  Original title: how to reset the windows media player 12 default settings

  My Windows media Player 12 has stopped play all the sounds (Win 7 HP 64 bit) - I can play sounds with Windows media Center, DIVX, etc. of Winamp, but not with Win Media Player. I would like to reset Windows Media Player 12 to its default state, either by doing a reset or reinstall. Can someone tell me how to do what you please?

  1 unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

• How do I delete the duplicate in the Windows Media Player library

  Repeated songs

  I have covers of songs in my library and I don't see a way to remove the copy of them. For example, the same song 3 times listed in my library, and I don't want to hear this song three times. It is through my library. How can I remove the repetitions?

  I suggest that you try to reset the media 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.
