Hi,
We have some unusual behaviour with Vista CD/DVD Autoplay handling in
which every DVD or CD that is entered to the disc drive produces the
autoplay handler for Blank CD and hence launches the Burn a Disc
message.
With these settings, It is impossible to access any disc via the
explorer and it is necessary to use the cmd window to launch any
executable's that are available on the disc.
We have tried:
1. changing the registry setting
HKCS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrenctVersion\Polices\Explorer
\NoCDBurning
(this key is unavailable in the registry)
2. we have tried resetting the Default Programs->Change Autoplay
Settings
3. Disabling the PowerDVD service
Would anyone be able to advise us to the best way to alter AutoPlay
such that the Burn a Disc defaults to Explore rather than burn?
Many thanks,
Graeme Newlands.

) If you want to try something else first i would suggest that you reset every single setting that you can find for your auto-play and CD/DVD drive back to default. Write down your settings before you change anything eh. After you do this reboot your system and then check to see if your changes are still the same. If not then it's a good bet that it is the Os con-fig or some other "higher" level type thingy. if they are the same then set them as you want one at a time. if the message still pops up then try this...(registry & such) If it is a higher level type thingy don't waste your time checking every little thing that you can think of. It will only drive you nuts-oh eh. Ability providing- perform a complete from the disk (partition first if you have one then cd/dvd)re-install and setup of your whole system. It's easier than most techs will tell ya. Also remember to check out the drive that is part of the problem eh. It might be some weird hardware gone bad or set up gone the way of the idoit that installed it. good luck and remember that the patient goose rules the sky or something silly like that. If you need to reinforce your trust in your own skills remember also to Google the heck out of any and all info that you may want or need! You might be surprised at how much you can learn about your system on that thing called the WORLD WIDE WEB (echo echo)Later folks! Oh and i almost forgot -bye and good luck EH...
