So I have a bunch of music and video clips on my computer form various sources, CDs, internet, etc. I have them all organized in to different folders amd I've renamed alot of these files. Occasionally my computer will go through and rename these files to their original name without me promptimg it to do so. Why does it do this and is there any way I can stop it, such as a lock I can put on after I rename a file? It's the worst with files I've downloaded from my CD's.
To explain what I mean, for instance, if I download songs off a CD, my computer makes a folder under the My Music folder with the CD name and lists the audio files by the track number and song title. When I rename the files to artist and song title, my computer will go through occasionally and change the file back to the original title with track number and song title. It is a huge pain to have to go back and rename several hundred songs consistently, so I'd really like a way to keep my computer from doing this.

I've heard of this before but I thought Microsoft had fixed that.
I think you have a couple of options:
Download a different music player
You could try disabling any naming options in windows media player. It might be looking up the names automatically.
I am really not an expert at this stuff so I take this advice with a heavy pill of caution. Good Luck and happy listening.
