Windows Media Player provides a few additional settings that you can use to personalize your Windows Media experience.
In order to make it easier for you to find frequently played content, the Player keeps a list of local files and Web-based content you have accessed recently. This information is displayed in various places such as when you click File, click Open, and click Open URL. If you share acomputer, you may not want others to see this information.
To clear this information, and to prevent it from being saved and displayed, open Windows Media Player. From the Tools menu, click Options, click the Privacy tab, and clear the Save file or URL history in the Player check box.
Windows Media Player includes a Premium Services button that takes you to a page that displays a list of available subscription services. When you click one of the sign-up links, no personally identifiable information is sent by Windows Media Player to the service. The service, on the other hand, may ask you for personal information as part of signing up for the service. It is the responsibility of the service to disclose to you what information they collect from you and how that information is used.
