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.

    I would like to add my disdain for this new fluke. It seem like with every new release Microsoft does a major dumbing-down of the entire OS and this time it has crept into the WMP. It is insulting. Like I'm too ignorant to know what I want, the coders just make up my mind for me. I don't understand why a company that can't come up with a bulletproof OS has time to strip functionality from the parts that work. It stinks on ice.
