How do you reset the "Autoplay" feature in XP?

[Joe_Mama]

You know that window that appears when you pop a CD/DVD into your drive and Windows trys to associate a program depending on the contents of the disc (i.e. a dvd player, a picture program, media player etc.), I've clicked the little box on the bottom of this window that automatically launches a program when that specific disk is inserted. How can I reset this so that I can choose a different program to open up when I pop the cd in?

Thanks

Hi Exmortis,

Thanks for the quick reply. I read the overview for the auto play fix but I am not sure if this will solve my problem. As I understand from the overview the fix will look for defective autoplay settings and then try to fix it. I really don't have a defect, I just want Windows to associate another program with the cd.

I will try it anyways when I get home.

Thanks again for the quick response

Woah... Sorry there. I just read the title of your post and assumed.

Anyhoo, in Windows Explorer, right-click on your drive, select "Properties" and then the "Autoplay" tab. You should be able to figure out the rest. :)

You are fast!

I will give that a go.

Thanks.
