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.
Afraid it does not.
Hasn't this answer been posted several times here with people saying it didn't work> was sure I have, but NM now. It just will not do what you say it should
To get the list to permanently show in Now Playing, All you need to do is create a playlist in Now Playing. Just save the playlist (top right). Save any playlist with list showing. Save it as test or whatever you want to name it. close player and reopen. list pane is still there.
Step 1- Play anything, a video or audio file.
2 - go to " now playing"
3 - right click >> show list
3 - top right save list ( you need to have at least one playlist in order for "show list" to be permanent...i know,,it's stupid, and a dumb change from previous versions)
4 - close player and reopen by launching any file list pane is still there. no more need to right click show list everytime now!

To prevent the playlist from hiding every time the next video in the playlist starts to play:
No, that were already the settings here and it changed nothing - the same old issue persists
