When I first opened WMP in Vista, it would take a while to open and start playing music. However, in Windows 7 it opens almost instantly. Is it just faster, or is it opening in startup so it starts faster? I suspect this because my start up is not much faster than Vista, and i did not do an ugrade install (which I heard increases boot time). I looked for an option to stop it from opening in startup, but cant find it. Anyone know how to stop it from startup, or is it just faster opening for the first time than WMP in Vista?

I apologize if this is a noob question or if it has already been answered.
