winamp starts self on CTRL+(arrow)

teachai · 23rd February 2006, 02:06

When typing in a textbox online the combination of CTRL+(arrow) or SHIFT+CTRL+(arrow) will load Winamp. I've set my computer so winamp no longer starts on startup, so it's not running in the background. The browser I use is Firefox 1.5.0.1

Just want it to stop. Thanks.

That's certainly not a default feature of Winamp, heh.

Are you using any firefox extensions, eg. FoxyTunes or anything like that?

Or do you have any Global Hotkey type programs installed/running?

If the problem persists, please read this first

First off, thanks for the reply, and sorry it took me so long reply myself! I thought I'd set my profile for email notifications but I guess not. So it goes.

I am in fact running a firefox itunes extension, which I'll go uninstall (don't use it anyhow) and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for the reference as well, I've perused it previously and it wasn't applicable. But thanks anyhow!
