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.
So, what you're telling us is that the new WMP is garbage. I work as a DJ, and I need quick access to my library, I require a drag and drop to do my job. If Microsoft can't make that happen, I won't be using(or remotely suggesting the use of) WMP anymore. This program went from usable to useless.
My Windows Media Player does not even display the Play List option when I right click on the window.
There is something seriously wrong with Microsoft in the head for not having an option to at least display the list you are watching, I have taken a screenshot of what I get. i am using Windows Media Player 12
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.
