How do I keep Windows Media Player on top?

Windows Media Player is a great, free program that plays audio and video files. It's also the default media player for Windows 10. You can use it to play CDs or DVDs, which most people still want to do on occasion even though they don't own any anymore. But you may find yourself wanting to keep Windows Media Player at the top of your computer screen so you can see it no matter what else is going on with your computer-surely there's an easy way! The answer is yes, but in order to do that we need to make a change in our settings first.

1. Right-click on the title bar of the Media Player window, then click "Keep On Top"

2. Press CTRL+SHIFT and then press T to minimize all other windows except for Windows Media Player

3. Press ALT+SPACEBAR and type "MediaPlayer," then press ENTER to bring up a menu that will allow you to select whether or not your player should be always on top of other programs

4. Hold down SHIFT while minimizing another window in order to keep it open but minimized so that it won't take away from your media player's space

5. To add an icon for Windows Media Player onto your taskbar, right-click anywhere on the taskbar, hover over Toolbars at the bottom left corner, click Customize..., scroll down until you see Desktop Toolbox (it's near the bottom), double-click Desktop Toolbox and drag it onto where you want it placed

6. You can also use keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+ALT+ENTER if you're using a laptop with no number pad

I use a program called WindowBlinds, which changes the way Windows looks by giving it different graphical styles. It's easy to install and can turn into something that you really like.

How do I lock VLC media player?

VLC media player is a free and open-source cross-platform multimedia player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. It also supports DVD playback, video editing, disc burning, and can act as a streaming server to stream over a computer network. VLC Media Player has been found vulnerable to malware in the past because of its ability to play any type of file format without installing additional codecs or plugins that might not be up-to-date with security patches. In order to protect against these vulnerabilities it's important for users to lock down VLC Media Player within their system so no one else can access it outside of your account. That way you'll always know what files are being played on your device.

Click on the icon and go to the Tools menu. In there, select Preferences. From there, you can lock VLC Media Player by clicking on Advanced options in the left-hand side of the window and looking for a box called 'Learnmore

To lock VLC media player, click on the 'Tools' menu and select 'Preferences.' Next, click the second tab from the top to access the settings of general preferences. Within this page you should see a button labeled 'Locks'.

Conclusion:

If you’ve tried to use VLC and find it constantly disappearing behind other windows, there are a few things that can be done. First, make sure the window is selected before clicking on any of its buttons or pressing one of its shortcuts. Next, check your settings for what should happen when playing media files in full screen mode. Finally, if those don’t work out for you, try installing Blackbox onto your computer as an alternative video player with some additional features like keystrokes and hotkeys available right at your fingertips!
