It's really annoying when you're right in the middle of something, and iTunes just randomly decides to pop up out of the blue. After magically opening, it gives me a message prompt about it not being the default player. Then asking me for the option to change it so, but I always deny that, and close the program. I've been doing a lot of searching around the web, and have found similar complaints, but they still haven't fixed my specific problem.
For starters,
I use a PC. I don't have any widgets installed. I don't have any devices such as an iPhone plugged into it. I've even tried disabling both iTunes, and iTunes Helper by going through msconfig/startup. I even went as far as to try deleting iTunes Helper, and then attempting a reboot.iTunes still keeps opening on it's own.
How do I stop this?
