Thread Name: Tech: how to turn off an 'automatic' tune
Subject: RE: Tech: how to turn off an 'automatic' tune
Well, I forget what IE I have, but my version has the very box that Grishka describes, and I unchecked it scrupulously. I also hit apply and restarted the computer.
The diabolical tunes continue merrily on.
Steve asked "What do you lose other than a few Mb of disk space and an extra icon or two?"
Steve, do you download, compose and arrange music on your computer using MIDI? Do you know how many evil forces are arrayed to prevent people from doing that? How many powerful programs prowl around inside the computer, kicking littler programs and severing their connections to speakers, to the synthesizer, to the printer?
I had to rebuild my music compatability a few months ago, and I intend to avoid doing that again.
Thanks for the thoughts, everybody.
