I am not sure that the subject of this query aptly describes what I am
referring to, I have never seen a reference to this menu so please bear
with me!
When an SD card, an external HDD or a USB drive is sensed by windows,
it brings up a menu which invites you to choose what you want to do with
the data on the storage unit that has been connected.
I want to know if anyone knows how I can add or remove a program to
this list. Suggestions appreciated.

I think you speak about Autoplay Handlers. If I am right,then the
TweakUI Powertoy is the tool you are searching for.
You can download it from MS here:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Then go to My Computer -> Autoplay -> Handlers

Thanks for the help, I managed to do what I wanted without any
problems. I already had TweakUI on the computer but I did not know the
name and in any case I would probably not thought about it as a possible
solution without your advice.
I thought I had better find out more about these Handlers so I Googled
"autoplay handlers" and found another program that some readers may be
interested in, it is called autoplay repair at:
