How do I stop WMP11 from changing all my files? Every time I open it, it
starts downlaoding pictures automatically and changing all my id3 info
without my permission. I literally spent months getting the id3 tags right
and wmp11 has ruined them all in about 10 minutes. In the options I have
unchecked everything to stop this but it doesn't matter. As soon as wmp opens
it just does what it wants.

Please specify "changing all id3 info". Which ID3 tags does it change?
What program did you previously use to tag the files?

In WMP's Options - Library, is "Retrieve additional information from the
Internet" unchecked?

Regarding the automatic creation of album art files, you can disable
that with a registry tweak:
