Re: How to get WMP 11 to stop on exit

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi William,

That is one interesting discovery.

I'm glad that you got rid of the annoying thing but the bug may still be
there (somewhere:-).

First off after WMP installation the /prefetch parameter is not always
present in the shortcut you've mentioned. It wasn't here. Anyway I added
/Task:NowPlaying (speaks 4 itself)

It is not well documented one. For example, you will not find it in here

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa386383.aspx

Another interesting reading despite it is not directly related to
"non-stop-on-exit" issue would be this:

http://blogs.msdn.com/ryanmy/archive/2005/05/25/421882.aspx

Especially intriguing paragraph starts from

"...The /prefetch:# flag is looked at by the OS when we create the process -
however.",

which means that the workaround used by you may or may not work in other
situations where "invisible" /prefetch supplied.

Probably some MS Guru will eventually will pour some light.

Best regards
