Autoplay doesn't work correctly

[Guest Bandiit@the Pass.ca]

When I insert a DVD movie in the player it automatically

selects Media Center to play, REGARDLESS of the setting in the

Menu "Windows can perform the same function, ETC:" Which wouldn't be

that bad if MC would play but it doesn't.

 

I can check the box "always do the selected action" and select some

other player beside MC but MC always comes up. When I cancel MC and

use the menu to open the DVD using Play, usually Real Player will

start but not always

 

I would like the option of having a choice. I have 3 other players.

How do I get one of these to be the Autoplay?

 

Thanks,

[Guest BP]

Go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Download => TweakUI

Under My Computer => AutoPlay => Drives, add a check mark to drives you want

to auto-start.

Re: Autoplay doesn't work correctly

 

I downloaded TweakUI alright, but I can't find Autoplay=Drives

under My Computer. Can you elaborate?
