i have a problem.
somehow (i don't know how) i lost all my automatic playlists that are
standard in wmp. i have version 10 now.
before i had version 9 and with that version i already noticed it, but i
thought that when i install a new one i would have them back. unfortunately
that did not happen.
how can i get those playlist back?

From Zach's WMP FAQ at http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html :

Q: I have accidently deleted my AutoPlaylist WPL files. Whoops! How do I
restore them?
A: They should be on your system in a subdirectory under the-
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\Sample
Playlists" directory (AKA "c:\documents and settings\all users\shared
documents\shared music\sample playlists"). Alternatively, you could
search your system for "Fresh tracks -- yet to be played.wpl"... where
that is, the other WPLs will be.

If that doesn't make you happy, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Mediaplayer\ Setup and delete the
registry value "PlaylistsVersion" and then run the Windows Media Player
and use its Help:Check for Update menu option to get the WPLs put back
on your system.

Regards
