I want that the background of the Media Player to stay visible

I want that the background of the Media Player to stay visible.  This is the part that has the play/pause and the minutes of each track.  I'm tired to move the cursor to see this.  Where is the place for that.

Thank you

Windows 7
Windows Media player 12.0.7601.17514

On my W7 (starter) if I start a video fullscreen, then leave the cursor on the video itself, little time to playback/pause/disappears after a few seconds.

However, if I move the mouse cursor to the bottom of media player, beside where the time is displayed, it does not and the bar remains.
TBH, I don't know if this is a setting, or how it should be by default, or if I'm just lucky :-)
But it may be worth checking. After you start your video, place the cursor between the time and the menu 'control' (shuffle, pause, play etc) and see if it does what you want.

    You may not have the correct permissions or own the medium on which you try to perform the backup.  Here are some instructions on how to give you the right permissions and Take Ownership (if necessary).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder/drive, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/. In this csse make sure grant you full permissions and check also advanced special permissions (including the inherited permissions) which can substitute for this entry to limit your rights by assembling as well.

    To resolve this problem with folders or drive, take possession of the records or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    I created form in adobe acrobat X 1 Professional.

    Now, I want to put logic on a field.

    I want that the document will be closed if someone between age under the age of 18. and display a message for minors?

    The final document is a little drastic... Perhaps simply display an error message? In any case, you can do it like this, as a custom field validation script:

    if (event.value && Number(event.value)<18) {
        app.alert("You must be an adult to fill in this form!");
        this.closeDoc(true);
    }
    

    Be aware that using this code will close the file without saving it, and the user will lose all unsaved data that they have entered.

    Assuming that you do not speak to the "Now Playing" view, you can refer to the mode of the skin, while the media player is active hold CTRL and press 2 to switch to skin mode. In comparison, the view is on the air are quickly accessible via CTRL + 3 or by clicking on the button in the lower right.

    I deleted the files in computer music but they always appear in the media player library.

They do not even play because I already deleted files from computer!

    Hello

    1st solution of Tim De Baets:

    "You probably need to reset the library to get rid of the files in the 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. »

  • Can satellite A350 - I change the media player on CD/DVD button?

    Is it possible to change the media player by default on the CD/DVD of the service/media keys button?

    The default is Windows media player and I want to change it to VLC player or itunes...

    Hello

    I checked the manual of the Satellite A350 and I founded the following information:
    Toshiba Button Support: This utility controls the following computer button functions: cut the buttons and CD/DVD. The application of departure since the button can be changed.

    So for me it sounds like this it of possible to change it.
    On my Qosmio laptop I can change this if I start the Toshiba assist, and then you can choose the Toshiba button support. Here, you can register another application.
    Check it!

    Hey,.

    If you press the button on the media player, only Windows Media Player or DVD Toshiba player can be started and not iTunes. This configuration is not possible. As you can read in the user's manual, only these programs can be started.
    Then the other multimedia keys work correctly, and you can use it with media player?

    I would try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust cooling fans and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
