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.

    wow this is the first time I've done the google search and found people actually talking about this problem. This is the one isssue i have with the new WMP if it was fixed it would be near perfect IMO. Never going to happen because microshaft rarely update WMP between versions on windows.

    I wish someone smart would create a plug in or find a work around that's the only way is going to happen.

    Thank you for your answer Vijay but as h4rl3qu1n said: Play List has nothing to do with my question.

    I'd like the "List Pane" to be always displayed, even if I open a new file or when the player switch from a video to another.

    Thanks

    If someone from microsoft see this thread again then I want to tell that this feature we want is not a new one. all the ealier WMP have this feature

    Click "Organize > Layout > Show List".  It displayed the list and came back after opening and closing WMP.  Hope that helps.

    This is exactly what I was looking for when I Google searched, and it was explained in the simplest manor, Thanks. And the list also stays open for me too after opening and closing WMP 12, Finally a Built in Windows Media Player that plays and detects all my music files, and no more hassles $ with 3rd party players.
