[Dixielandjazz] FYI - Itunes problem

[Mike]

Sometimes itunes can automatically make itunes the default 
software and switch off windows media when you install it. Just 
be sure that when you install updates in the future that the 
'keep itunes as default player for audio files' is unchecked. 
You can also do this in the preferences section in itunes.

Since I have never had a problem I have never gone into this and I just never paid any attention to it before.  Upon clicking into this area there were four check boxes one of which was custom.  There is a flyout arrow on the right that I tried and a number of boxes again came up.  All checked with "use the current web browser - media player - whatever"
