Media Player

[Bill]

I have a problem, when I turn my computer on my Media
Player automatically comes up on my screen. How can I
get rid of this?

Hi Bill,

Start/run msinfo32, expand the software environment and click on the startup
programs. Look in this list for a line that loads WMP *or* a line that loads
a media file. Make note of where that line is loading from, this is where
you need to go to disable it. If you are unsure of how to proceed, please
post back with the location(s) they are loading from for further assistance.

Greetings Rick and Bill

It looks as if Zach found out the problem. I was starting to wondering too
since so many people have reported it.

Good find, I had suspected as much but had not had time to research it.
