You're a bigger help than you can imagine-I can access the Tools>Options in LW but I'm a bit lost with the Windows Media thing. What you're saying is open the "tools>options" in LW and save the list where?
Then open Windows Media Player and the "tools>options" there too?. I opened that and I don't find the "Media Library" you speak of...
BTW, how is the weather down under?, here in Michigan (USA) it's a bit on the HUMID side at 75 degrees...
