Even when you download iTunes

That's because the first thing that iTunes does is lay claim to all of
your music files, rename them, and restructure your music directories.
It took me a week to get everything back to the way I wanted it.

I spent a lot of time trying to undo all that on mine. Never did get it all undone.
The money I have left in the i-tunes account will be there forever.

even when you use the remove software facility.

That is when you need to understand REGEDIT.
