I have had windows 7 for 5 weeks now and I'm very happy with it on the whole.

The only problem I have is that the Windows Media Player Network sharing serving takes up daft amounts on resources for no apparent reason.:mad:

When it is running "wmpnetwk.exe" takes some CPU (not much) and 2.8GB of memory...anyone know why?

I have disabled the server for now, I can still share all my media to my xbox though so that begs the question what does wmpnetwk.exe actually do?:confused:

Is there a known fix other than just turning off the service?
 
Thanks for the reply:), but that it what I already did myself.
Doesn't seem to be a way of keeping the service running so it does not eat memory.

Never mind...
