Hi,

I hope someone can help.

I'm looking for a simple batch file i can run that will allow me to switch between enabled and disabled windows media player network sharing - without having to open WMP11 and manually turn on and off Media Sharing.

As far as i understand the service (services.msc) that needs switching is WMPNetworkSvc (Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service) which relates to WMPNetwk.exe

Any help would be great

Many thanks

I should also add that it might be better if the Batch file just gave the command to "restart" the service as that might also solve my current issue.
thanks

Hello Tender Prey,

Sorry for the late response. You can use the following commands:
Stop:

net stop WMPNetworkSvc

Start:

net start WMPNetworkSvc

Restart:

net stop WMPNetworkSvc && net start WMPNetworkSvc

Regards,

Ax
