I can understand how that happened, but you'd think there would be a better 
way to handle it, like being able to start the service when you start up the 
player, but then that too requires administrative privileges.

So it looks like "don't run on startup" really means "act like it isn't 
installed, but without uninstalling it."  So why not just turn the thing 
back on? Or does it require you to actually reboot and/or log out and back 
in to start it up? That's just dumb.

I suspect there's also a component of DRM security in there, since it's 
using Plays4Sure and there are a bunch of rules you have to follow to 
incorporate that in your own programs.
