Ask-a-Techie: Autoplay

Posted by Serges LaRiviere on Wed, Jan 18, 2012

Heya Techie,

Every time I put a CD or DVD into my media player program pops up.  How can I stop this from happening?  I want to be able to select what program opens what file.

Thanks,

Otto-matically Annoyed

Ask-A-Techie: New Browsers and Toolbars

Posted by Serges LaRiviere on Fri, Jan 06, 2012

Dear Techie,
The last time I updated Firefox (to the newest version, 8.0), it took out my list of bookmarks, and the top bar.. ie; (File, Edit, View, Tools, Help),
All that was left after this was this the Bing toolbar and Ask.com bar which I do not remember installing.
Ask.com was also installed on Internet Explorer.  I didn’t want either Bing or Ask.com in either browser but they appeared one day.  What can I do?
Thanks.
