Windows Media Player - Black Bar on Bottom

I have looked this up 3 times now, so I am posting it here.

Every once in awhile, WMP will add a black bar at the bottom of the display area. This is not the letter-boxing of video, as it is normal in full-screen mode and also appears while playing audio files. The bar is the Subtitle Area. To disable, Right-Click the display area, select "Lyrics, Captions and Subtitles", and choose "Off". It's gone.

Some key press activates it for me accidentally. I doubt it's the default Ctrl-Shirt-C combo; that would be awfully hard to oops. Now we know.

What do you mean days??? That thing has been a thorn in my side for months.

Finally got around to googling the issue and found your fix... Thankyou for your sheer genius!
