I have track numbers in front of some of my song names (not title) in my music libarary. How do I get rid of them. They are not in the "name" in WMP. I try to right click and rename and that doesn't work. I try going through properties into details and delete numbers in front of name, but it doesn't stay changed. Tried to edit in WMP and that doesn't work. Nothing I do permenantly changes the name (not title).
Help!!!!!!

Well Cyber................I'll give this a go. Files store data and the folders organize those files, right?
I was looking at wmp players from my start list. I will go into it to find my version. I beleive that I have 12.
Can you give me an honest opinion. Is windows 10 with just release update better than windows 7? Of course they say its the latest software, but my laptop has windows 10 and its a pain. Have they made some good changes to it? I would like to upgrade my desktop, but hesitate.
A 'Shortcut' is, well, a shortcut. It is a small file that allows you to click on an Icon to start a Program, such as Windows Media Player. If you add an Icon to the Desktop, there is a small file that tells the computer to translate a click on that Icon to mean to run the Executable File (file with a .exe extension) that starts WMP. It is not the file that starts the program, it is the file that starts the file that starts the program. Another "behind the scenes" thing we don't really use or need to know about.
How to find your version of Windows Media Player: This works to find the version of any program you have. I do not what your View settings are in WMP, but you should have File, View, Play, Tools and Help across the top left of the screen. Click on Help.
At the bottom of the Pop-Up window, click on About Windows Media Player.
The window above shows that this WMP is Version 12.
Now - pop quiz - just so that we can be on the same page: What is the difference between a File and a Folder?
Yes....i would like to know. Also....how do i find the version of wmp in my computer. I went into properties, details and it just says "windows media player", the it says its a "shortcut" file. What does that mean?
OH HAPPY DAY!!!!! I just went into documents, right click, restore defaults and i got them back. I am happy....oh so happy.
No! I am not talking about songs. In my computer, under music i opened files to catagorize my music......ie: 60,s music, 70,s and 80,s music, country etc. That way when i wanted to copy music to flash, i had music in types files. When i moved these files to documents.....they were still under their appropriate files. Somewhere i lost file name ie: country, 80,s etc. My music is all run together in alpha. This included my videos. So........i had backed these files onto a flash stick....thank god.....and my question is: can i somehow copy these files into my windows music library? In docs now i have over 5000 songs all in alpha order.
