Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I am having a problem with the Windows Media Player 11 library on Windows
Vista Ultimate.

I cant seem to delete anything from there at all? There is also a broken
link in there, which like everything else cant be deleted, and when I click
on it, it just plays the song after it.

So, I guess what i'm asking is, how do I clear the library totally, so that
it displays no songs at all? I cant do it from Windows Media Player 11,
because it goes through the motions, and then nothing happens. Is there a
file in the WMP11 Program files directory that I can delete or something?

All/Any help appreciated!

All the best!

John

Rename the folder containing your WMP library database files. See
http://www.zachd.com/pss/pss.html. Search the page for the phrase "wmdb" (no
quotes). I can't remember the anchor to get you there exactly and can't
access Zach's page from work. Our filter doesn't like something on his page.
