How can I disable the automatic switch to "library" mode in Windows 7's Media Player 12?
- by matthews
Whenever I plug any USB device into my computer while running Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7, it will automatically swtich the player from the Now Playing mode to Library mode. This is intended to faciliate syncing between Media Player and MP3 players, but it happens for any USB device.
I'd like this to not happen since it's infuriating to see this take place while I'm watching something on a separate screen in Media Player just from plugging in a USB key.
This has nothing to do with Windows autorun, and nothing to do with versions of Windows pre-7.
And no, switching to some other video player is not an option; I've tried them all, none are as good as stock Media Player in 7.
