How to keep media player minimized or hidden when I click a WAV file
Whenever I check the new sound files on the internet and I click on one to hear what sounds like the windows media player leaped to the screen and blocks web pages, I have opened in time. So, I have to reduce over and over again. Dam as well by clicking. Is there a way to keep it minimized and still be able to use it? I am running Vista Home Premium W/sp2 installed and Media Player version 11. Thank you.
Hello
If you have set Windows Media Player as the default player for playing WAV files, then it opens automatically whenever you try to open a WAV file.

Media Player 12 losing library when the external hard drive is disconnected.
I have all my music from an external hard drive. If the hard disk is on and I have Windows Media Player 12 to scan the drive, he built the library very well. However, I do like to keep this external hard drive on all the time so I must say Media Player to stop monitoring the disk in order to disconnect and power off. The problem is, the next time I reconnect the drive for music, I open the media player and the library has disappeared. I make sure that the reader always connects with the same drive letter, so it can't be the problem. Is it possible to keep all the information in the library when the hard drive is not connected to the pc. I'm sure that I was able to do this with previous versions of media player.
WMP12 does not store the music files. It stores only the location of the files. If you are using a temporary drive, files disappear when the source goes away. The only solution for this is to put the files on your disk or hard drive connected all the time.
To store your files on your hard drive in a place where the player plays automatically, go to the icon of
(i.e.: C:\users\ ) when the folder opens, there is a folder named My Music. It is one of the files that WMP reads. If you don't have room on your hard drive to store all of the music, you can choose a few favorites or turn the music on your hard drive. You can just leave it to refill whenever you connect the WMP player.

Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?
Why Windows Media Player Dump existing MP3s when I add new to SD memory card?
Is there a setting I'm missing or something I forgot?
All that I could find for now is the following. I'll try to get WMP to give me the new option.
Connect the player to the computer (if you get a menu of Autostart just close it), open WMP and then go to the Sync tab, click on the small arrow below, then down the list to your rocket, a fly out menu will pop to the top and in this menu, you will descend to configure synchronization and will open a window called Device Setup , In the upper left corner, there is a checkbox indicating automatically synchronize this device, make sure it is not checked. If you get a menu when you plug it in, having options that wants to know if you want to allow yourself music, or delete it and make room for new files, make sure you click on the music of leave on my device option. You must be sure of automatic synchronization is disabled and that WMp is not deleting you music so you can add others.

I am trying to burn a dvd on windows media player movie, but all I get is a desktop file burned on the dvd and that's all what he'll do it just ejects and the session is over
Hi Barbara,
You can use the player to burn a mixture of songs from the library of the drive or your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. Alternatively, you can burn files on CD and DVD data. It is not possible to burn the live streams, such as radio stations, on a CD or a DVD.
Follow the steps in the link below.
