iTunes reopens itself after closing

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,
No I am not using Object Dock.
However, experimentation today has found a sort of "fix".
If I close iTunes with the X in the top right corner, it simply re-opens. If I close iTunes with Task Manager, likewise it re-opens. If, however, (and I had never tried this before) I close with "File" then "Exit" iTunes does not reopen.
Finally I have AN answer, but obviously iTunes still has a fault and Apple sadly after over a year of having been made aware of this problem for many users don't seem to have either the desire or the ability to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Paul

I was wrong, I managed to close iTunes once by using File, Exit. The problem continues.... any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

PROBLEM RESOLVED!

Here is what I did and it has fixed the issue of iTunes continually re-opening itself after closing with reference to DCOM and embedding.

I disabled DrWatson by editing the following registry key from 1 to 0:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug = 0

I disabled DCOM by editing the following registry key from Y to N:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OLE\EnableDCOM = N

Then I restarted the computer.

Then, using Control Panel, I removed iTunes and restarted.

Then I went to C:\Programs and deleted EVERY folder relating to iTunes and iPod. If a folder refuses to be deleted, open Task Manager and terminate the relevant iPod process then it will be possible to delete the folder.

I then cleared my Prefetch folder, temp folder, and then recycle bin.

I restarted the computer, and re-installed iTunes.

PROBLEM RESOLVED 🙂

Hope this helps other users with similar problems.

NOT RESOLVED!

My last posting worked for several hours, then the problem returned.
I must now believe that this is caused by a serious oversight or deliberate use of DRM that like Sony's efforts, just doesn't work.
Apple, your software is pants! Please fix this issue.
