Every time I open Windows Media Player 11, the program wmpnscfg.exe, "Windows
Media Player Network Sharing Service Configuration" is set to run at
start-up. How can I stop this from occurring
 
If it's not a feature you're likely to use or want in the future:
Click Start, Run (type) Services.Msc [Enter]
When the console view opens click the "Standard" Tab at
the bottom of the pane. Locate the service in the listing.
Right Click, Take Properties and set "Startup Type" to be
disabled and the click the "Stop" button below.
 
Either delete WMPNSCFG.EXE and/or delete the start reference in the
registry.

WMPNSCFG.EXE = Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service Configuration

It is used to share Windows Media Player libraries.

It starts from...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value Name: WMPNSCFG
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\WMPNSCFG.exe
