Now we need to know where your favorite CPAN sites are located. Push
a few sites onto the array (just in case the first on the array won’t
work). If you are mirroring CPAN to your local workstation, specify a
file: URL.

First, pick a nearby continent and country (you can pick several of
each, separated by spaces, or none if you just want to keep your
existing selections). Then, you will be presented with a list of URLs
of CPAN mirrors in the countries you selected, along with previously
selected URLs. Select some of those URLs, or just keep the old list.
Finally, you will be prompted for any extra URLs — file:, ftp:, or
http: — that host a CPAN mirror.

(1) Africa
(2) Asia
(3) Australasia
(4) Central America
(5) Europe
(6) North America
(7) Oceania
(8) South America
Select your continent (or several nearby continents) []

How to Disable Media Manager Services

March 31st, 2009 Masao 2 comments

UPDATE: Roxio has made it harder to disable “Media Manager Services” now.

In Windows Vista:

  1. Click the Start button, type “msconfig” and hit enter.
  2. When the small “User Account Control” window pops up, click continue.
  3. Click the Startup tab
  4. Look for “CommonSDK” in the Startup items in the left column.
  5. Check the Command column, which should say “RoxWatchTray9.exe”
  6. Uncheck the box for that row.
  7. Restart your machine.

ALTERNATE OLDER VERSION:

After installing Roxio Creator, you might have a system tray icon that you can’t seem to get rid of.

Here’s how to turn off the Media Manager Services icon:

  1. Start Roxio Creator
  2. On the left side, click Audio.
  3. Then click Audio CD
  4. On the left bottom, click Settings
  5. Uncheck Watch Folders at Startup
  6. Then click OK
