Explanation (?):

The Windows Media Program Service is a Media Player 9 server service that provides streaming media across the Internet. If you are runnning a streaming media server then this service should be left on automatic. My guess is that this service coordinates communication between the streaming protocol and other programs. If you know the exact nature of this service then please contact me.
