Hi

ive had a prob with wmp11 not closing after clicking "x", so had a look around the ms forums and found (hopefully) a fix but not sure what to do with it.

doesn't look like you're registering the files as administrator. goto start, programs, accessories, right click "command prompt" and select "run as administrator". now try copy/pasting those 2 commands into the command prompt window.

thant did it, top man !!

now to see if its made any difference.

cheers to both of you
