There's another method you can try but I just want to re-test it myself because I haven't used it for a while. I'll update later (btw I'm in the UK so I guess we have a slightly different schedule!) - R.

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!!!!!!

Don't know how or who changed that, but I put full control administrator back to me and I was able to delete these track numbers.

2018-02-20T00:45:23+00:00 Ok Ric................but what would opening a google music account accomplish? will it still allow me to go through WMP and also use my Amazon music? Amazon music has the option of right clicking on a song and having them send it to wmp.

If that doesn't suit a good alternative would be to open yourself a Google Music account - I'll explain how that works next time. - Cheers, Ric.
