Since the iTunes 9.0.2.25 update (or thereabouts) on Windows 7 (32-bit) build 7100 I get the following message every time I start iTunes:

iTunes

iTunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. For best results, turn off compatibility mode for iTunes before you open it.

I have checked C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe and compatibility mode is disabled, and I get the message even if I run it directly from there.

How do I get rid of the message?

This is definitely not an answer, but if you wait a few months, this problem will be solved "naturally"... – Yar Dec 24 '09 at 14:38

FOUND THE ANSWER and works 100% ! Windows 7 64 bit

You can read about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10397771#10397771

Or if you don't want to open that and take a look just do this:

Locate: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers

in your regedit

and delete the itunes.exe entry.!

You said the compatibility mode is turned off for the .exe itself, but is it turned off for the shortcut you're using to open iTunes? Right-click the shortcut and go to Properties to check.

Sorry I didn't specifically say I'd checked that in the question, but I have. Running the .exe directly would avoid it anyway. :) – GraemeF Dec 25 '09 at 13:42
