Windows Media Network Sharing Service

Is there any way to disable this (Vista Ultimate) ? I don't use it, but it's
always running at startup. I've tried disabling it in System Config and in
Services, also in Group Policy but it still runs!

With XP I could just rename or delete the 'wmpscnfg.exe' file, but this is a
system file that can't be modified

Hi Brian,

Try this:

Open WMP, click Tools, Options
Select the "Library" tab, and click "Configure Sharing..."
Uncheck "Share my media" and "Find media that others are sharing" checkboxes
Click OK.

Then,

Click Start.
Right-click Computer, and then click Manage.
Expand Services and Applications, and then click Services.
Double-click Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and set it to Disabled
