Windows Media Player 10 Video Playback

Do Not Show Full-Screen Controls

SUMMARY: Hide full-screen controls from covering up parts of your movies when played under Windows Media Player 10.

Normally, when you play videos in Windows Media Player 10 in full-screen mode, controls are shown on the screen allowing you to pause, stop, skip around, etc. during movie playback. If you would rather these controls not appear, you can make the following changes:

1. Press CONTROL-1 to switch to Full Mode if you are in Skin Mode.

2. If the menu bar isn't visible, press CONTROL-M to turn it on.

3. Choose "Tools" - "Options".

4. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select "Performance".

5. Click the "Advanced" button.

6. When the "Video Acceleration Settings" dialog box appears, to the bottom and right of "Video acceleration", uncheck "Display full-screen controls".

7. If you wish full-screen DVD playback to lack these controls as well, below "DVD video", uncheck "Display full-screen controls".

8. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
