You can do a better job of controlling the software by reconfiguring the registry hive using regedit. Regedit can be opened by simply typing regedit in Run. Warning: You can really mess up Windows if you Tweak something you shouldn't.

But other than that, you can have fun by hacking your windows operating system. Hacking here is like customising Windows, its nothing malicious.

Clicking the (tools-options-privacy) does not completely clear media files from Windows media Player. To check it out, click (files-open and click on the down arrow where you can enter a media file). A list of previously run files will appear. To clear these files it is necessary to go to (start-property's-classic start menu-customize-clear).
This removes recently accessed documents, programs,and Web sites.
At least that how it works on my computer.
