What do you want windows to do?

Binman · 10-15-2006, 10:55 AM

When you insert any media into a pc (including an ext HDD), windows pops up a dialogue box asking what you want to open the media in/with.

How on earth can i modify this?

certain software adds itself to this list when its installed, but i want to be able to remove some of them?

Yeah, I just want it to open in explorer view most times. I've already associated the filez with the progs I want to open them with. It's anoying as hell.

Fair enough, but thats not what i asked.

I want to modify the list which pops up, this appears when you insert ANY media into the computer which contains files (ext HDD, memory stick, cd, dvd etc)

Oh my god, I love you!

its under auto play handlers of latest tweakui, just select the handlers you done want and press delete (cant use button cos its greyed out)

EDIT: Tweakui doesnt seem to save changes, but managed to find Autoplay Repair in case anyone else will find it useful!

	Say goodbye to our beloved planet. Because there is alot more money to be made in emitting greenhouse gasses, than curtailing emissions. Get out of the box, then recycle it.
