It auto-full-screens - does it work if you go back to normal non-full-screen
mode?

I started reading your link and found exactly what I was looking for near the
top where you wrote "A handful of fixes for it are available here." The
"here" link took me to Windows WMP Solution Center, which I suppose has the
answers. I say "I suppose" cause when I slipped in a DVD to try ALT+CTL+DEL
to get out of the full-screen mode, oddly enough, just pressing ESC got me
out.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I played and ripped from a
regular music CD before trying this. Odd things like that are not all that
unusual with all things Microsoft.

Thanks again!
