Hey Video Track,

Thanks for chiming in. Yes, I have hundreds of BIAB files with corresponding video files with the same name. It's not like I have only one or two folders! The "Practice" folder is just one of dozens of music/teaching folders I've created and they're spread out over the landscape of several hard drives in my system--and each of those folders have tons of BB files and video files with the same name.

In addition to the "general" music student exercise video accompaniments I've made (like the series I did and posted on the three "Hanon Complete" finger exercises book), I've created many non-posted/private exercise videos that are tailored for each of my students and over the years, since this video capability was added to BB, my collection has grown into hundreds of files that are located in many folders on my hard drives.

Anyway, thanks Video Track for responding.

Hi again Noel,

Yes, I can see and understand that your suggestion to slightly rename all of my video files would definitely keep that Video Window from auto-opening, and what you said about the files remaining next to each other is true. However, as I said in my reply to Video Track, I've made hundreds of files! It would be so much easier for me and a more efficient use of my time to have a toggle switch to disable/enable the auto-open function.

So for now, I'm going to regard the "slightly rename file method" as my "nuclear" last-resort solution and keep it on the shelf for the moment while I contact the support team before I finally submit the toggle switch idea as a wish list item and then wait for an update or two to go by before going "nuclear" (Smile)! Otherwise, your suggestion may be my only way to stop the inconvenience that the automatic pop-up window is causing me.

So with everything that's been said, it looks like it's time to consider this thread at an end, unless someone has another solution that doesn't involve the process of having to rename over 1,000 files.

Thanks again Noel.

I move this thread be considered "settled".

Thanks everyone.
