I am having a real problem with my laptop.

1. Windows media player on my Laptop has all of a sudden copied my entire iTunes files. This means that I now have two or three copies of a lot of music. Some of these files were copied from Wma over to iTunes in the first place. This has overloaded my hard disc and everything is operating very slowly.*

Can I get rid of the iTunes files from wma? How can I stop my iTunes files being automatically copied into wma?*

2. I also have a problem with my USB ports. None of my external devices are able to link/sync with the computer. Do I fix this by doing a system restore?*

Thanks for reading this, and I hope you are able to help.

You need to go into the Library/Add to library (or Tools/Options/Library/Monitor folders) settings of WMP (I'm using WMP10) and tell it to ignore the iTunes folder.

In fact on my settings I have gone a step further and made sure that it ignores everything but the specific folder I keep the WMP music files in.
