    • Download Windows Media Player 11 Installer for Windows 7

    • Now Type services.msc on windows 7 search bar

    • Stop Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service.

    • Take Ownership of following files

      • All files in “Program Files\Windows Media Player\” folder
      • All files starting with “wmp” in System32 folder
      • wmploc.dll.mui in “Sytem32\en-us\” folder


    • Now Run Windows Media Player 11 Installer

    • Now type Regedit on Start Menu Search bar

    • Delete following Registry key

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\Installed Versions“
      (Don’t forget to take Backup of Registry before modifying/editing/deleting any registry key)

    At what time I upgraded on the way to 7077 I was severely irritated WMP 12 decided to *automatically* record the whole thing within my libraries. I don't even utilize WMP for video files; however necessitate keeping it on hand for performance DVD's and Windows streaming media files. Anyways, I had to option on the way to denying write access toward CurrentDatabase_372.wmdb within the App Data folder in the direction of prevent it from cataloging my files (however not earlier than I had spent an hour dorking around within the settings trying to discover an selection to manually control the library).
