Autorun Popups

[Jeremy Tyler]

You know those pop-up windows that pop up when you do
things like insert a CD or connect a digital camera.
Those boxes that say "Do you want to: (a) Play CD with
Windows Media Player (b) Play CD with MusicMatch Jukebox"
etc. How can I modify the contents/options of these pop-
up windows? I've got some funky entries in there for
software that was uninstalled a long time ago, or I get
duplicate entries for the same software. When I connect
my digital camera it even thinks I've connected 2
cameras. Any ideas on which registry settings need to be
modified?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Install TweakUI for Windows XP,
www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp Run it from the
Start Menu, and go to My Computer, Autoplay, Handlers. You can remove the
obsolete entries there.

Thanks. That worked mostly, but I've got an item that
just lists a bunch of boxes and then it says "using <need
provider>". It doesn't show up in the TweakUI menu.
Then I've got things like multiple pop-ups when I connect
my single digital camera. I only connected 1 camera, but
it thinks I've connected 2 or 3. Is there some registry
settings I can change?

Thanks,
jer

You can start in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Autopl
ayHandlers

But its a mess, and I've never really figured it out completely
