Comments on: Stop Adobe Media Player From Launching At Startup http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/09/01/stop-adobe-media-player-from-launching-at-startup/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

Thanks for the simple explanation and the detailed graphics...I was about to trash this program until I found this site. It's really annoying having AMP pop up when I don't want it to! Seriously, Adobe should hire you. I shall be forwarding this info to a couple of friends and I shall be bookmarking your blog. Thanks again! You rock! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This AMP is truly "fat and sassy", as a choreographer I once knew from Tennessee would often say. This kind of marketing actually restricts one's internet experience in the guise of broadening the user's horizons. It's also a blatant money grab; which is evil on all levels of programming and life in general. We can only hope that Dante is quickly scribing new circles of hell for the likes of the AMP marketers to reside in. Thanks so much for pointing out the "oh, so not convenient" preference that enables the user to disable what any self respecting programmer should have never enabled in the first place. Too bad, if it wasn't for all the capitalist bloat the viewer would probably be one of the better ones on the market. Thank you.

I was cursing the damn app and thinking to chuck it, except for some shows I wanted to see. Appreciate the info and hope Adobe gets their act together with this option. Very tricky dicky.

I agree; this one flew over the top of the heads of the people designing the flow of this program... I would have never guessed looking in there; I did see it but my brain never said; Oh let's click in there maybe it is hidden in the AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATIONS section... Makes me want to go back and check the PERFORMANCE section and see what they have in there... Anyway, thanks so much for relieving my frustration...

The preferences vs options decision is indeed perplexing. I think everyone has been scratching their heads a bit about some of the UI decisions (somewhere someone is really bitter about all of the armchair designers out there). ;-) Thanks for the kind words.

I nearly went crazy about that and it forced me do not use the application for weeks. Nobody could have explained it better than you I Adobe should hire you. I still don't understand why Adobe is calling options what generations of developers called preferences. thx again MACsCOOL Hi Brooks,
