Windows Media Player leeching processor

[ViperZS]

Hi all,

I run Core Temp on my desktop and noticed the CPU was going mad. I opened up Task Manager and saw Windows Media Player was running huge CPU loads. I NEVER use WMP. Ever. I always use VLC.

I right clicked and told it to end the process tree but it came straight back up. This isn't the first time I've seen WMP doing this. Does anyone know why or how I can stop it??

Thanks!
