it wouldn't "stick".

In practice they are now protected system files and Windows will replace
them after being deleted. There isn't a way to specifically stop them
being added.
See follow-up post
http://msmvps.com/thinice/archive/2004/11/20/19812.aspx for my own
experiences with Album Art after deleting it.
As far as I am aware, there is no public documentation for any of these
metadata/album-art management features. The WMP Help file is sketchy at
best.

Re: Applying music folder settings
Thanks for the info. Basically I have all my music a H: drive and I want allthe folders on there to be music folders with specific details shown in
details mode. For some reason the current details change randomly and won't
stick. Annoying.
Thanks again.

1) Acting as music folder (ie showing media columns and music tasks)
2) Details as default folder view. XP's default number of folders with
remembered settings is ~400 IIRC. Kelly's corner has a script tweak to
increase this number to 8000
(http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm -> tweak #2)

WMP adds a lot of numerical folder overhead with the Album Artist\Album
organization scheme. Doesn't take too many albums to exceed those limits.

things to be sorted in folders and sub folders depending on their id tags.

day, and some expect an answer as soon as they post their reply.

Neither of the OP's requests require any additional software.
