SUMMARY
This article describes how to remove the entries that are listed in the Media Guide in Windows Media Player 7 to restore this feature to its default configuration.



MORE INFORMATION
The entries that are listed in the Media Guide are stored in the Wmplibrary .db database file, where  is a series of characters that may differ on different computers. To remove these entries:

IMPORTANT: Although the following procedure removes the Media Guide entries, it also removes all playlists, track information and links. After you perform the following procedure, the deletion is permanent.
 * 1) Click Start, point to Search or Find, and then click Files or Folders.
 * 2) Type wmplibrary*.db, and then press ENTER.
 * 3) Right-click the Wmplibrary .db file, and then click Rename. Rename this file to an .old file extension.

NOTE: If you choose to restore this file at a later time, repeat steps 1-3, but click Delete instead of Rename in step 3, and then rename your original file (with the .old file extension) to the .db file extension.
