Windows Media Player 12: Always show list
Hi everyone,
I recently updated my computer to Windows 7.
When I was on XP, the list pane of WMP 11 was always displayed in the right part of the screen (except in full screen mode).
Now on WMP 12, I have to manually right-click and choose "Show list" each time I open WMPand each time a new video starts .
Could you tell me how to permanently display the list pane ?
Thank you
Regards,
Phil

There is no way to get or save the "list pane" in Windows Media Player 12. You must create a playlist to see your play list pane.
I've been playing around with this for hours trying to get the same thing your tyring to get. Microsoft has changed alot in version Windows Media Player 12. The last version of windows media player 11 is the only version that can show the playing list pane.
Right Click the Video and choose show list and then your good to go
Except we're not. Close WMP and reopen it and the list is closed again. Switch to a movie/song not on the playlist and the list closes again. You didn't solve anything.
7 years later and still no solution.
Right Click the Video and choose show list
and then your good to go
Windows 10 comes with the default player set to GROOVE MUSIC or some other Cr--App that links to X Box and for use by plebs.
We have deliberately changed to WMP because we do not want or need that rubbish. All the way through Windows 8 and upwards the personalisation of many aspects of the OS and software has been reduced to minimum levels, Updates, Fonts, WMP. My Bluetooth devices no longer work as well as they did, IE is erratic, because of EDGE presumably which many avoid for the same reasons as put before, customisation + Addons.
If we wanted a bloody Apple Mac we would have bought one!
Bring back Windows XP, small and customisable and make Windows good again, sell vanilla for plebs if you want but call it something else and sell it more expensive than what we want.
No, that were already the settings here and it changed nothing - the same old issue persists
