| Used by Windows Media Player. If you share media with other computers, leave it on. Otherwise, you can turn it off.

| If wmpnetwk.exe keeps tying up resources you can disable Windows Media Player media sharing.
1. In Windows Media Player turn off media sharing
in the library tab right click on it > click "media sharing" unclick the media sharing tab and click ok
2. Turn off the "WMPnetwk.exe" service
Under the "RUN" command in the start menu type "services.msc". Then Scroll down to "Windows media player network sharing"
Double click and under startup type set to disabled.

| If you share media with other computers on your network this is a good thing to have start up or you can turn it on just by opening windows media player and clicking off (if you dont want it to come on during startup)

| During the periodic bug hunt, the process showed 50% of CPU resources were being used somewhere, and it was this one. Turned it off, and experienced dramatic increase in system performance!
