LOL, this thread started with me making a throwaway comment about "that
&#E*&#@ RealPlayer that loads every time I start up." It's gotten more play
than most of the questions I ask.
But, as long as we're talking about it, I am assuming the alternative to
this is Windows Media Player. Is that the video player of choice? If I
remove Real Player, do I lose other options?
