Windows Media Player Opening Uncontrollably
«

PLEASE SUPPLY RELEVANT INFORMATION:
Operating System Version: Windows XP
Problem Application Name & Version: Windows Media Player version 9
Problem Hardware Make & Model: Dell Dim4600
Error Messages: not applicable
Every time I start the computer, Windows Media Player opens itself automatically. This just started happending 2-3 weeks ago. I close the program after startup and it stays closed thereafter, unless I open it. To prevent it from opening uncontrollably at the startup I have looked under Start, Programs, and Startup to remove it from the startup list, but its not listed there. I have looked in the Windows Media Player program Options and have found nothing related to Startup options. I have further downloaded the lastest version of Windows Media Player from the web in hopes that it's opening uncontrollably may have been a commercial marketing tactic -so users keep the latest version of the program. After downloading the latest version (9), and the problem still occuring, this doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas about how this happened, but moreover how to correct it? Thanks,

You might want to try running msconfig from the run command and checking the start up tab to see if it is in there.
