Vista Autoplay

Is there any way to add other programs to autoplay in vista? 'Cos I don't
like to use the defaults.

Control Panel>Auto Play

Yeah you said "Is there any way to add other programs to autoplay in
vista? 'Cos I don't like to use the defaults."

What does the Cosine (Cos) have to do with your problem?

Yes, and I told you how to change the defaults.

I meant for example that if I put a dvd in to the drive, it opens in
vlc(videolan). As you can only chose from the default opetions: play with
media player , open folder to view files using windows explorer, take no
action etc. I'd like to set up 3rd party programs for autoplay. So what I
originally asked was that can you add other than windows programs to
autoplay. Thanks for trying to help though =). My first post was a bit not
informative enough. =)

It's the responsibility of the application vendor to add themselves to
AutoPlay. It's actually really easy to do this. Does VLC not do this? You
should politely request they add this support. Please do that on their
forums. If they mention having problems with implementation (they
shouldn't), lemme know (respond back to this post) and I'll check out their
questions there. =)

Cheers,
-Zach

Yeah I could do that, but its too much work to do that for every 3rd party
program I want to use with autoplay. Would be so much easier if autoplay just
had an option "add other programs to autoplay" or something like that. Thanks
for the help though.

Are you expecting to need for a large number of 3rd party applications to
add themselves to AutoPlay on your system? What vendors/applications are
failing to do this?
