I have this problem too. And, WMP does not show up in my task manager, so
that solution doesn't help me at all. I'd love to add the script to my start
up

-echo START
date /t
time /t
For /F "tokens=2" %%n in ('tasklist ^| Find "wmplayer.exe"') Do Set task=%%n
echo %task%
TaskKill /PID %task%
Set task=
echo END-

but have not idea how to take the script and put it in start up. Do I save
it as a Word .doc?

Thanks for any help at all.
