• How to stop windows media player from reading when I open it?

  I have windows vista. Why does windows media player start to play the first track in my list when it comes on? It didn't used to, but my system has been rebuilt, and now I can not find anywhere, no matter what help (is not always the case? Help files are never 'useful'). I didn't start playing a track just because I opened the windows media player!

  Media Player has no opportunity to do so.  Are you sure you're not clicking on a shortcut file that specifies to play?  If you are unsure if the shortcut file specifies a game action, here is how to test directly open it:

  (1) make sure that all programs are closed

  (2) press Windows + R to display the race

  (3) type wmplayer and press OK

  Media Player should open without playing anything.

• How to stop windows media player from launching when I hit enter?

  I'm on Windows XP Home Edition

  Never had this problem before.
  Turned the computer on last night.
  Whenever I hit enter WMP starts.
  I rebooted, disconnected the keyboard, reconnected, etc..
  Help!

  Thanks for the reply.

  I answer so that if anyone else has this problem in the future this can also help.
  Method 1 - I do not have a shortcut for WMP on desktop, so it's s/o.
  Method 2 - I had actually downloaded an upgrade to Adobe Flash Player the previous night.
  So I uninstalled, restarted, but the problem was still there.
  Method 3 - (my method)-j' swapped the keyboard, rebooted and the problem is solved.
  Don't know why, no damage has been done to the keyboard, no spill, etc..
  I hope it was.
  Thanks again for the support.
