On installation, I selected not to share any files. I am not on a network. I then de-selected wmpnscfg.exe in sys config. I disabled the two (2) BHO it installed (to start automatically). However, when I start the media player...it puts wmpnscfg.exe back into sys config. .....
I have made it clear that I do not want this #%@&^ thing running all the time in the background. Nothing I have tried will stop it. Is there any way (short of uninstalling 11 and using 10) to eliminate this intrusive program? |

This program will not show up, once you have removed it from msconfig...until the next time you start the media player...then it's a automatic start-up. Sweet huh...won't call home unless you use me. |

Another thing to try is the box you used for disabling WMPNSCFG.EXE, go to the Recovery tab and reset all three boxes to Take no action and click Apply/Ok and see if that works.

Try Startup Cop Pro from PC Magazine - http:\\www.pcmag.com Sorry, I don't remember weather it is freeware or shareware, but it definitly works to disable programs at startup. This will allow you to disable the program at startup, but I don't know if it wil come back when you start the media player. Regards, Bill R. |
