|  WMP Question
Why does WMP create the files WMSDKNS.dtd and WMSDKNS.xml when you jump onto a stream??
You can delete the files after every use,so they clearly arent needed >>> why are they created?
Anyone know?? |

| You can open both files, the XML will open in a browser and the DTD is just a text file.
They both look like configuration files.
Likely these are just like any transient file created by many programs in that there is a default version stored in the program that is used to rebuild the file, and that this file is modified as you use the program to suit your particular system and saved so it doesn't have to be set the next time.

WMSDKNS.XML is associated with Windows Media Player and sets up all kinds of protocol-related priority and timeout values for multiple streaming protocols likely to be used within its windows. You'll find a lot of good nuts-and-bolts information about how Windows Media Player is set up to access the Internet on your machine, and what kinds of things it can do, through a little careful perusal of this file.

said by Dude111  :I cant believe how many files AIM creates when you use it (All of which can be deleted when you close AIM) It's not necessarily a bad thing tho and in some instances it can makes startup significantly faster. I'd much rather have it written to a small file than written to the registry.
