Claudio Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hello, I discovered (using Process Monitor) that Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe), at least old version 7 (and others shouldn't be too different) stores the list of all music and video I've seen in \Profiles\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index\wmplibrary_v_0_12.db When I click on Media Library option in WMP, the list of all things I've heard or viewed is inside this file. Maybe CCleaner could have an advanced option to get rid of it as part of the cleaning process. It will get rid of things stored explicitly there with the "Add to library" option, but its a price to pay for (optional) higher privacy, I think. C.

mushu13 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 This is a 'feature' of WMP. To disable: Open WMP Open the 'Options' window (Tools>Options in v11) In the 'Player' tab uncheck 'Add media files to library when played' They call them fingers, but I've never seen them fing, or ger. WOAH there they go!!!!!!! ~Otto How to use CCleaner on a Flash Drive (pre v2.0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
