Disabling Dell Musicmatch

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

Hi,

I just got a new Dimension 8400, running Windows XPHome. I had a heck of
a time stopping Dell Musicmatch from launching everytime I inserted an
audio cd in the DVD-ROM, but finally did. I had to uncheck all file
types associated with Musicmatch. I now have Windows Media Player set to
launch when I put an audio cd in the DVD-ROM, but I still get a
Musicmatch window that pops up about 2 seconds into the music and says:

The current webpage is trying to open a site in your trusted zone sites
list. Do you want to allow this:
Current site: go.microsoft.com
Trusted site: wwwp.musicmatch.com

YES NO

No matter what I say, yes or no, nothing happens, but the window closes
and WMP keeps playing music.

How can I get rid of this Musicmatch window that pops up? I've never
seen anyting as invasive as this.

Thanks,

I have decided to remove it.

Nope, never have tried to remove AOL because I'd never install it in the
first place.
