Windows Media Player Annoyance
I use the Windows Media Player to view avi files, and invariably, every time I close the player, it tells me there is a new version and asks if I want to upgrade. That is one huge install, and requires validation to install, so I always say no.
Here's a registry tweak to disable the constant nagging to upgrade:
Go to Start, and type regedit, press ENTER.
Open the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\PlayerUpgrade
Right click in the right window and choose New, String Value. Name your string "AskMeAgain" without the quote marks, and then modify, and give it a value of "no".
Close the Registry Editor. The Media Player won't ask you again to upgrade.
