I've been using Windows as a network administrator for just over 6 years now. I've used NT4 servers, 2000 servers, and Windows 2003, and there has been a tremendous improvement with each version. There are still some things that drive me nuts in my job, though, and this is a chronicle of the top five.

the "show files"-problem:
just delete "folder.htt" and "desktop.ini" in the problem-folders (c:program files, c:winnt, c:winntsystem32) and the problem's gone.
the wmp-problem:
wmp is probably embedded because ie (& explorer) use it by default. for example: media preview uses it (select for example c:winntclock.avi and you'll notice a small media player embedded in the explorer sidebar). wmp is a thing many applications assume it exists. it's something like the common controls. it's just something an application can use. and wmp6 (the default wmp on w2k) isn't bloated.
