Where O where have my mouse bindings gone?

You would think that Microsoft would have considered including all of the “Ten

into Visual Studio 2005. One that I am suffering withdrwal from right

If anyone knows of a way to get this to happen in VS2005 (aside from coderush) please
let me know. Until then, I will continue my quest.

Here is a c# code snippet that takes the selected items in the itunes browser window and sets the “remember playback position” to true. You will need to add a reference to the iTunes type COM library.
