Hello,

Kevin´s message helped a lot and really fixed the library. But I got one
doubt about deleting the "media player" folder after moving it to my desktop.
It is the real folder or just a shortcut that i should delete? I´m afraid of
deleting an important folder...
Thanks a lot for the help,

I don't know how this happens but this is one way to fix it. First close
WMP, Media Center, and Internet Explorer, then find this folder
C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft (replace the XXXX with your user name,
this is a hidden folder!), then Move the "Media Player" folder to the
desktop, then restart WMP and the Library should rebuild itself. If all looks
good you can delete the folder you moved.
