Ok so I've had this problem before and I've got no idea what's causing it or how to fix it. Windows media player is the only thing I've got installed on my laptop to play music files and such. I usually use it for music and in some cases listening to lectures I've had to record for my classes. Anyway it happens on occasion that when I double click the audio file it will just start playing. I know that sounds like it's supposed to happen but the Media Player window doesn't pop up, it doesn't show up in the taskbar, even in it's minimized form, and when I try opening the task manager to close the program it doesn't show up under the lists for applications or processes. The sound file still runs as if the media player were open though and I can't control it. The only way I've found to fix this is to open the media player from start menu which gets to be annoying when all I wanted to do was listen to the file.
Is this a normal bug or is something I can fix?
