When I double click on an MP3 in Windows Explorer, expecting it to just play, iTunes adds it to the library, then plays it.

Is there any way to turn off this behavior? For now, I've just made Windows Media Player the default program for MP3.

Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab, uncheck Automatically Add to iTunes.

You're right. The words I was thinking of "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is not quite what you are looking for.

Since you made a different player the default iTunes will no longer add it to the library automatically. That is probably your best solution.
