This has been bugging me too, so I went to the organize-manage libraries, and removed all the folders being watched, closed WMP, then opened it and all signs of the sample media that I had already deleted were gone. So I then added the folders to watch backto the media libraries and let it update. No more sample media. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number compaq sr5410f case

But as with many of MS's install packages, when you re-install, everything is re-installed (all "dependencies").
Why you are getting so upset with me is beyond me. Chill out. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell Inspiron 1520 (Laptop)/ Home (Desktop)
