Everytime I start Windows Media Player it pops up my PDA which adds itself to my msconfig startup. This also happens when I start msn, yahoo, or icq messenger!

Unhook it in the Registry, but. as allways when on a Microsoft or any OS, make a backup before doing any changes to the System.
You can prolly just use mscfig utility to do it, but I am still uncertain on the XP and Restore stuff. Conflicts can arise fast when an Image is taken and then Microsoft decides that they do not like green eggs and ham. Love em hate em, they are the biggest game in town, they make sure Apple and Linux stays active so they wont be back in front of a Senate Panel.

I don't think there's a way to stop it automatically.
