Change back to Media Player 6

If you don't like Windows Media Player 7 (WMP 7), you can change back to WMP 6. Windows Me doesn't let you remove WMP 7, but WMP 6 is still available. Follow these steps:

  1. Open a MS-DOS window (Start > Programs > Accessories - MS DOS Prompt

  2. In the MS-DOS window type: ren c:\progra~1\window~1\wmplayer.exe wmplayer.$$$ and press [Enter]

    This will make a backup copy of WMP 7

  3. Type: copy c:\progra~1\window~1\mplayer2.exe c:\progra~1\window~1\wmplayer.exe and press [Enter]

That's all! If you want to change back to WMP 7, copy wmplayer.$$$ over wmplayer.exe.
