I want to install itunes on my laptop but every time i do , everything turns into itunes . Would you happen to know why it does that ?
For example , aim . The little yellow run guy turns into the itunes icon and when i click on it , it turns / goes into itunes .
itunes is claiming those file types. During the install it probably asks you which file types you want itunes to handle. And you should be able to select only the ones you think itunes should claim. So MP3 for example.
If itunes is NOT doing that, then preventing it from doing that requires some software like Spybot Search and Destroy with the Tea Timer addon. It is a free. Anyway, Tea Timer monitors any change to the system registry and after a change is made asks you if you want to change it back. So in the case of itunes claiming things, I'd just click "no" after the install in tea timer and that would reset the file type associations back to whatever they were before itunes claimed them.
Sound complicated? Sorry... it is.
