I have just installed XP Home SP2. I do not want autoplay. I have checked every box available to disable autoplay. If I insert a CD, it runs. With Win 98 SE, There was a single registry entry that could be changed from 0 (?) to 1 or the opposite.I have searched the various XP websites to no avail.
View 8 RepliesI have this notebook in which windows xp doesn't show the autoplay options any more everytime I put a CD or plug a digital camera or pendrive. Before it used to ask me what to do but now it doesn't do anything. The autoplay is on, and set to 'prompt me what to do' but it just doesn't. There's a service in charge of this (shell hardware detection), and it's running ok, started, automatic, everything is ok. Any suggestions? (besides reinstalling ).I'm not posting the specs for this notebook since I believe it doens't have anything to do with the hardware but if you need them just ask.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having an annoying problem. I even reformatted my pc to get rid of it and it still does it. Autoplay keeps trying to autoplay when nothing is in there to play. ALL the time and it is very annoying. Can anything be done about this? Next time it happens I will take a shot and link it back here so you can see what I mean. Please tell me you guys can help me. Thanks.
Edited: Ok here is the link of what I mean. The autoplay box comes on all the time even when nothing is in any of the drives. I am not trying to run anything btw. Again thanks!

Complaint was audio CDs won't play. Think problem is actually autoplay doesn't work. It is enabled for the drives/files. Tried Microsoft autoplay repair tool, Tweak, checked services. Music CDs just won't autoplay
View 2 Replies View Relatedthe default setting is "music files". Whenever I put a DVD in I have to manually change the setting to "DVD movies". When the DVD is done autoplay automatically returns to "music files". Is there a way to set autoplay for multiple files or to disable it so that my computer will play any media I insert?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got the problem on this month 1. The DVD-rom (mapped drive D:) doesn't autoplay at all, when u remove the disc from the drive, the icon just stays there, but its empty. The only refresh as you reboot the computer. 2. The USB drive (mapped drive F:)doesn't show up at my computer. It'd detected by Adobe reader, and the USB is readable, but it just won't show up in "My Computer" also the list of choice to open the USB from autorun won't show up either. That's pretty gay.
What i did: 1. tried mapping drives 2. NOD32 result- virus count:0 unscannable count:4 3. Adaware SE personal: spyware count: 2 (cleaned) 4. ctrl+alt+del check the running stuff by Administrator seems nothing special
Autoplay was disabled by some antivirus program, I want to enable it again but it doesn't work. Both optical and virtual dvd drives have no autoplay. I tried tweakui, set all drives to enable autoplay, but it didn't work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen you plug in a USB stick with some pictures on it (or you select Content Type: pictures in AutoPlay), you have the option to choose 'Copy pictures to a folder on my computer' when AutoPlay is enabled. Because I also have an external hard-drive, I have disabled AutoPlay.When I connected the external HD, it would always start to rowse/read
the entire content of the HD (annoying pop-up I had to cancel) and then it would open the folder. As a consequence, I no longer have the option to choose 'Copy pictures
to a folder on my computer', which would launch the Scanner and Camera wizard, when I plug in my USB stick with pictures on it. When I try to manually start the Scanner and Camera wizard (wiaacmgr.exe), I'm getting an error message indicating I don't have any scanners or camera's connected.
The settings for autoplay and cd recording can be tweaked by opening explorer or my computer, right click on the cd-rom drive, then click properties. While this usually works, sometimes it doesn't and you'll have to edit the registry.
