Is there a way to change the shortcut on my desktop to automatically open it in a new window? I want to do this so I can play iTunes at the same time.

If you create a shortcut on your desktop then right click, properties, at the end of the target address add a space and put -w so it would look like this\n\n"C:&#92;Program Files&#92;EA Games&#92;The Sims 2 Open For Business&#92;TSBin&#92;Sims2EP3.exe" -w\n\nThat should open it in a window. :o)\n\nEdit: the line of text somehow isn't showing correct on here but if you add the -w it will work!

What source list? There's one on iTunes, on the left of the window with 'library' at the top, but there's no option to hide it so you can't be having problems finding it...!\n\nAre you looking for some kind of 'source' list for your iPod? When it's open in your iTunes you just click on the triangle to the left of the iPod's name in the iTunes source list. \n\nIf that's not it, please add more detail to your question!!

depends entirely on what type of file it is ... I'm assuming it's an audio or video file???? ... maybe it will open in something like Winamp or iTunes????

As mentioned, you can use MSConfig but you need to be a bit careful what you're doing here as you could end up disabling programs you actually want to have running such as anti-virus, printer drivers and so on.  You won't cause any damage as the programs will still be there, just that they won't be running.  If there's names you don't recognize on the list then type them into a search engine - chances are you'll get lots of results.\n\nAnother thing to do, and you may find this is all that's needed is to go to your desktop...\nClick on My Computer\nClick on Local Disk (C:)\nClick on Documents and Settings\nClick on your user name\nClick on Start Menu\nClick on Programs\nClick on Startup\n\nThis will open a folder with the files that automatically start - you can delete the ones you don't want (you're not deleting the programs themselves just the shortcut that makes them automatically start).  You can also copy and paste or drag and drop shortcuts into here to automatically start programs of your choice.  You could stick a music file or video in here and every time you turn the computer on the song/video will play.

u can quicktime seperately here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html\nand when u try and install the itunes package it will probably detect that u have quicktime already installed. good luck

Uh.. Open Quicktime. It should be in the Start menu under Quicktime. If you're asking how to make things play default in Quicktime instead of Windows Media Player, Go into Edit menu, Preferences, and then Quicktime Preferences to choose what plays in Quicktime and what doesn't.

Check this out ... Extract from\nhttp://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159372&start=0&tstart=0\nOption 1:\nAssuming you're moving files legally between your own computers, check out iPodAgent at http://www.ipodsoft.com/\n________________________________\nOption 2:\nThe manual way around this problem is to use the iPod in its alter ego - that of portable computer disk drive. Successfully tested under iTunes for Windows 4.2, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7; Windows XP Home.\n\n- Start with the iPod disconnected from the computer - DON'T CONNECT IPOD YET\n- open iTunes\n- open iTunes Preferences - this blocks iTunes from seeing an iPod connection; leave the preferences window up and running\n- connect the iPod to the computer, wait about 15 seconds before continuing\n- open 'My Computer'\n- Tools menu, Folder Options, View tab, enable 'show hidden files /folders'\n- open iPod icon in My Computer\n- open iPod_Control folder\n- you should see a folder named Music\n- drag this folder to somewhere on your computer hard drive\n- after the copy completes, right-click the new Music folder on your hard drive and select 'Properties'\n- clear the checkmark next to 'Hidden'\n- Close that explorer window\n- eject iPod from System tray "Safely Remove Hardware" icon. This icon looks like a small gray rectangle with a green arrow floating above it. It's only there when a removable device (like the iPod in this case) is attached to the computer. Right-click & select 'Safely remove..', then click 'Stop' in the next window, OK in the next window, and then Close to complete the ejection.\n- disconnect the iPod from the computer\n\n- go back to iTunes, cancel the preferences window\n- File menu &#92; Add folder to Library &#92; find that Music folder copied over from the iPod\n\nYour iTunes library should be back in action! But wait - there's more!!\n\nLong time forum regular Otto42 has a java script/program that can also retrieve the playlists themselves from the iPod as well. Here are his instructions and a link to the most recent thread discussing this tricky process:\n\n] This is really useful when you're pulling all the songs off of an iPod to put them back into iTunes, because you lost your library or anything along those lines. Come up with your own reason for using it.\n\n] Download this program:\nhttp://otto.homedns.org:8888/iTunes/iPodGetXML.zip \n(If you can't download it, try again later. The connection goes up and down a lot.)\n\n] Now, put the iPod into Disk Mode or otherwise access the iPod as a drive. Make sure you can see hidden files, then go to the drive and the iPod_Control folder and find the iTunesDB file. Copy it to your PC.\n\n] Put the copied iTunesDB file in the same directory as this program, then run the program. It'll read the iTunesDB, get all the playlists, and create an XML file for each one. Now just import those XML files into iTunes to recreate the playlists.\n\n] Notes:\n- The songs in playlist must already be in the iTunes library. If any one of them isn't there, iTunes throws up an error when you try to import the XML file.\n- The song names, artist names, and album names in the library all must be identical as to what the iPod has. If you just copied all the music off the iPod and into iTunes, this will be the case, so it's generally not a big deal. but you'll get an error if it can't find the song in the iTunes library, so it's something to keep in mind.\n- It probably won't be able to cope with unusual characters in song names. Sorry, not worth my time to fix. Dealing with unicode is way annoying.\n- Smart Playlists get changed into regular playlists. It's *possible* for me to add the smart playlist stuff in there, but it'll take a while to work it all out.\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nOriginal thread for Otto42's playlist recovery: http:

For Windows XP:Do you have the latest version of Quicktime installed? That is required for iTunes however it is usually included in the installation.\n\nI would first uninstall iTunes through "Add and Remove Programs", (Maybe do all these steps for Quicktime Also if you think it may also be causing the problem)\n\nThen go to\nProgram Files -> iTunes and delete the iTunes folder \n\nNext\nStart-> Run-> "Regedit" (without quotes) \n\nThen in the new window\nEdit- > Find-> And Search for anything that might have to do with iTunes and delete it. (Don't forget to make a backup fo the registry by going to File -> Export  First just to be safe.\n\nThen Reinstall and see if the problem is fixed.\n\nAlso check out the Apple technical support page on their website to see if your problem can be fixed over there.\n\nIf all else fails contact Apple's Technical Support if you Can.
