How to stop MS from breaking in?????

Hi Lesley,

Thanks for your reply. I set Media Player to once a
month, but MS server still keeps trying to enter my
computer.

My feelings are this:

When I want help I ask for it. :-) I don't want or need
MS's help. XP is designed to allow MS in my household
whenever MS wants to. They are control addicts. It is a
corporate problem that they have to work out. But the
result of their addiction is that XP has a wide-open
architecture which is costing users astronomical amount
of time. I never, never, never had this much problems
with OS systems that were designed to keep intruders out.
MS wants in - like a robber wants in. They want to see
what is going on. I know ... when I catch a robber in my
home, he/she will contend that they were just there to
help clean up the kitchen - but they were in there to
snoop and I don't want anyone snooping around unless I
ask for it. And when I am finished - I would like them to
leave. It is really as simple as that.

But really thanks for trying to help me out.

Best,
Rich
