Clearing Windows Media Player History

[Ned]

ugggggg. Another inconvenient MS feature? If only they programmed like firefox.

Any easy ideas before I start googling? Somthing about an add-on, one old site said . . .

Zone alarm has a feature that clears that kinda stuff, so does the new version of Ad-Aware

It's probably in the registry.

[Ned]

Yep

Finally deleted it in the registry. Nothing else would work, including their so called Bonus Pack Powertoys sh__t.

My opinion of MS has reached a new low. Do they not know how to program or do they choose not to?

Stop trying to hide the fact your watching porn!

Either accept it or do not watch it, then you will not have to clear the HISTORY!

[Duper]

don't forget to hit the clear document history in the task bar optins menu under "Settings" at the Start button.

[Testiculese]

Hahaha Bubba

{{Either accept it or do not watch it, then you will not have to clear the HISTORY!}}

The issue is the computer behaving the way I want it to, not fear of porn.

Since virtually everything MS says about this is incorrect, here is the key, for future ref:

regedit in the run command, then find:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\RecentFileList

You know, you could also just open up media player (assuming you're using v9) and open up your options, click the privacy tab and click "Clear History".

uncheck the box "Save file and URL history in the Player" always helps too!
