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.

    Its funny because its only happen with videos. If you play music files like mp3 the list is not disappearing.

    The designers of wmp 12 think that its a good idea when you play a video then no need to show playlist.

    Come on microsoft give us this little feature back when you have alot of small videos like music videos in your playlist then its very irretating that the playlist disappears and have to click show list every time

    Right click LH pane click "Always show Now Playing on top"

    Yes dasv, that should work, only it doesn't. As soon as I start a video or switch between videos, the pane goes.
