Guest Richard Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 When I put a DVD in my computer running XP Pro SP2 a screen comes up with selections of what programs I can run. One of these selections is blank. While it doesn't cause a big problem I would like to get rid of the blank entry if I can. Thanks for any help you can provide. Richard

The blank entry does not appear in the Tweakui Autoplay handlers and I am not sure what to remove in the direct registery entries. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks Richard
