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!!!!!!

    Yes let's run SFC to see if any WMP system files are corrupted...

    Ric, you is the bestest. I always wonder what they mean by 'ELEVATED Command Prompt'. I am an old DOS guy. A prompt is a prompt. Just sayin'.

    Janet, just breathe. It will be okay. Good job repairing the files!

    I received a network warning.  It said there is another computer with the same ip address as this one.   What does this mean and do I need to worry about?

    Ric, all is good.  Everything seems to be normal......................can i breathe now????  I moved my music back to documents and renamed them beginning with music so all of them are together..........don't have to search.  Moved only one file to music and checked wmp and no duplicates!!!!   So..............now we know.  It works.
