SP2 - lose WMP desktop icon every time I exit program
I upgraded to SP2 this morning the right way (turned off antivirus & 3rd party
firewall, ran Adaware right before, deleted cookies & temp files & history). OK, seems solid enough so far. But I have a little nagging problem - I lost my Windows Media Player desktop icon after installing SP2. So I go into the WMP folder in Program Files and make a new shortcut, and put it on my desktop. I then click on it, & it loads up WMP. But when I exit WMP the icon is gone. This was with WMP 9 and now I installed WMP 10, same deal. I've done it a couple of times. Anyone have a clue? Also while I am here, the talk radio selection sucks big time weenies with WMP 10. I had like at least 50 stations to choose from in WMP 9, now I only have 10. And when I do a search in WMP 10 for the one I am looking for, I just remember "bostonpete old time radio", I get several bostonpete.com choices & streams, but I cannot find the old time radio stream, even when going to the Boston.com site, which it does in an IE window anyway (just see advertising of stuff for sale - nothing that lets me choose a talk stream from the site)... Hints, anyone? Thanks, ...D. |
