AutoPlay

[Guest]

No matter what I change autoplay to, it defaults back to Music Files.I've tried it on cd drives D: and E; and generic drive G:
Also when I double click on C: drive from my computor I get the search function no the contents. HELP

Brian,

Try the AutoFix repair tool from Microsoft.
The Microsoft AutoPlay Repair Wizard scans your computer devices to find defective AutoPlay settings, and attempts to fix those it finds. Download Autofix utility from here:

For the Folder>Search problem, try any of the fixes below:
MVP Doug Knox's site:

Fixes only the corrupt key in registry

or

Click [Start] [Run] and type "REGSVR32 /i SHELL32"

I think there is a tutorial on the microsoft web site, "Introduction to the Registry" which illustrates using the registry by going in and changing the autoplay features...may be woth a look.
