    Windows Media Updating Library


    Is it possible to make Windows Media stop updating media library for once and for all?

    I'm not talking about retrieving media information of the internet, I don't have it active and basically everything in Options has been disabled but it still updates media library every time I launch it.

    I don't want pictures, videos, music and all that other stuff to be a part of the Windows Media library at all.

    I want the library to be empty at all times.
    I only use Win Media to Rip Cd's I buy.

    Thanks

    Open WMP > Click Organize > Select Options > Library
    Uncheck Retrieve additional information from the internet.

    > Player
    Move the Automatic Updates to Once a Month.
    Uncheck Add local media files to library when played.
    Uncheck     Add remote media files to library when played.

    Close WMP and reopen.
