iTunes Opens for Both Users

[JoeyC2]

This is a correction to an earlier thread I posted, where I thought iTunes was opening on its own at startup under my wife's user name. Instead, I have discovered that if she has been on the computer and I switch user names to mine, and open iTunes, that it automatically tries to open under her name as well. As long as I keep iTunes open, she gets an error message saying only one user can have it open at a time. As soon as I close iTunes on my side, and she switches user names to go back to hers, iTunes is opened there.

How do I prevent this from happening? (Other than doing Logoff rather than Switch User?)

I am running Windows 7 Professional.

Did you enable it to run at startup? That's probably the most likely cause, as I can't think of anything else that would cause this.
I don't have iTunes installed on my laptop, but there is a way to stop it running at startup if it is enabled.
A.
1. In start menu search, type in "msconfig", and press 'Ctrl' + 'Shift' + 'Enter'.
2. In the startup tab, uncheck 'iTunes' or similar if it is there.
3. Press OK.
4. If prompted, reboot.

If that is not the case, I will alert other experienced members here

Thanks, but that was the first thing I thought of. I went under both user names and unchecked it at startup. Again, it is not opening at startup. It opens (or tries to) under both user names when I try to open it under my name (or she does on hers).

make yourself as an administrator of the computer and then it should not open up again

Lemme Know if it works

Stevy, I have read numerous other posts on various topics, and all say to not have your normal account be designated as administrator. From what I have read, that leads to many more problems than this one issue that it may solve. So, I am not going down that path. As I said, I did find that it does not happen if only one of us is logged on, so unless someone else has an answer, I will go that route.
