EDIT: PlaybackPassword+ v0.1b has been released and is now available for download:

OR click here to download it directly from our exclusive volunteer host: AnotherWin95.
=====================================================
I have a small (beta) program for Windows 2000/XP users that I would like to share with the community. Its release will be dependant on the following conditions:
(1) TiVo must not object to its free public distribution for personal, non-commercial use (of course).
(2) Someone must be able to provide a reliable host for the file so those who wish to try it can download it. The file size for v0.1a is 156 KB.
The program is called PlaybackPassword+. It does not attempt to subvert TiVo's protected content. All TiVoToGo content is still protected by a Media Access Key (MAK) and Playback Password. This program simply automates the process of entering your Playback Password.
PlaybackPassword+ is meant as a minor 'improvement' to TiVo Desktop 2.0--nothing more, nothing less.
PlaybackPassword+ is downloaded in the form of a small self-extracting installation file. Once installed, users can remove the program at any time via a typical Windows uninstall process. After installation, all the user has to do is set their Playback Password to '12345'. Then, all you need to do to open a .TiVo file is double-click!
Again, like I said above, I will not release this file if TiVo objects to its free public distribution, so please do not PM me asking for a copy. I do not want to be sued any more than the rest of you.
Also, keep in mind that the program is still under development. If released, I'd appreciate suggestions and bug reports from anyone who gives it a try.
See below for a couple screen shots.
