Thanks SLB, I'll give that a try. Can't find the original one in any of the sites I visited which is a shame. I just wonder if it was a feature on earlier WMP versions now removed... ho hum.
Also appears to be no option on WMP to remove the recently played files on the File menu. Even if the file has been deleted, file names like Mimif*ck.mpg tend to be somewhat incriminatory.
