Go into the Administrative Tools located in the Control Panel and open the Services tab. Look for the service assoicated with "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" and right click on it and select Properties. Click on stop and set it to manual or disable, depending if you want to use it at all.

2.disabled it from services, it starts back up.
WMPNSCFG.EXE Refuses to die no matter what one does, have searched Google for the answers and it only brings up more questions the only solution I've found seems to be the command prompt to stop the service as described by Microsoft, however I have no idea how to properly use command prompt and searching for a hint on how to properly use it comes up empty, most likely the problem resides behind the key board Thanks for trying though  Introduction to the Windows Command Prompt http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial76.html Whoops!
