How can I set Windows Media Player to show play queue automatically?
I have a number of .m3u playlists that I made when I had older versions of Windows. I have all my music on a different hard drive and not in the Windows Music folder. Now that I have a new version of Windows 11 the only way I can get the playlists to show is to right click on the player and choose "Show Play Queue" I want the player to show the playlist without having to right click on the player and choose "Show Play Queue"
Is there a registry setting I can add to fix this?
