Re: WMP11, Firefox, and IE - consumer advisory

If you look at the image I included, I do not have WMP 11 set to save its history. Never the less, it saves them in IE.

Even though Microsoft has declared this is done, I consider this to be a bug. You set an option in a program to not save history, the history should not be saved, otherwise the setting is quite pointless, and misleading.

I hadn't noticed that

I don't know why it's doing that. I have IE7, FF3 Beta2 (which should be irrelevent), WMP9, and XP Pro SP2. I just tried it, thanks for the excuse to check out some pRon, and it doesn't show up in in IE7's address bar or history. Perhaps a version 10 or just 11 issue, Vista?

Perhaps a setting in IE7 too. I have it's history set to 0 days. It would be nice if we could narrow this down.

XP SP2 is what I run using IE7 and WMP11.

Are the URL's showing up in WMP11's history too? I'm shooting a hunch that it is behaving more like IE's history which even when set to zero days always remembers the current day's history. Which brings the obvious question, are they stored for more than day?
