I find it useful personally. Though I guess it depends on your position. I have some customers who due to being in rural areas are stuck on dial-up and this is a major bug-bear. As when itunes starts it takes ages and monopolises their limited bandwidth.

Could do with a nice tick box somewhere to turn off.

eh, i can’t delete my other comment, looks like it’s even easier, it looks for a cookie, so you can just insert

setCookie(“disableAutoLaunch”,”1″,600000)

to disable it, i couldn’t find the option on the page though.

I don’t really want itunes to open automatically each time, so i just threw this in a greasemonkey script, I stole the code to overwrite the default function from ‘http://www.squakmt.com/replacing_javascript/index.htm‘ and just overrode the detectAndOpenItunes function. MUCH nicer, i can still click “view in itunes” to view it in itunes when I want to, which isn’t every time.

I’m sure someone’s already done it, or done it better, but if you haven’t found it yet, here’s what I got
