Mr. Umbach,

Thank you kindly for that reply. That fixed iTunes problems immediately and
I'm checking the other program now! Would you be able to suggest some
reasons as to how the settings were altered in the first place? I'd like
this to not happen in the future.

Secondly, where do you find out about information on things like "secedit",
etc? I'm very much interested in learning how to fix problems myself.

Again, my thanks for the assistance.
