Re: OT...computer stuff

How do I change the default settings on some programs? For instance,
I don't want my Window Media Player to automatically play all videos
that are downloaded. I can't seem to find where I need to change this.
I'm assuming you are using a PC and not a Mac. If you are using a Mac...
nevermind! VBG
I probably wouldn't have this problem if I had a Mac, huh?

Oh yes you would. Media players trying to dominate the universe
happens on them too. Real Player is the worst I've come across.

I haven't found a better solution than shouting at it a lot and
trying every control that might conceivably do something. If I
knew how to make a wax effigy of a software corporation I'd have
a great use for blunt pins.
