| | Windows Media Center Starts Automatically.... Hello all, When I first started Windows Media Center, it asked me if I wanted it to start automatically. How can I turn this off so that I can start it manually? Thanks, Steve |

| | Re: Windows Media Center Starts Automatically.... Open Windows Media Play and navigate to Tasks. In the Tasks section click on Settings. In the settings window, click on the General option followed by startup and windows behaviour. In the startup and windows behaviour window remove the 'tick' mark from the 'start windows media center when windows starts' option and then click the Save button. The next time you start your PC windows media player should remain disabled until you manually start it. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
