Strange entry in CD/DVD open list?

[Guest Kenny]

When I put a CD or DVD in drive I get the "What do you want Windows to do"

as expected but I have a strange entry in the list of actions.

It's two strange symbols on top line and on the second line "using <need

provider>", no quotes.

I have no idea what this is, am very curious about it and don't know how to

get rid of it.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Kenny

 

A year or so ago I had a similar problem and successfully removed the

rogue entry with a free tool called Autoplay Repair, here:

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks to both for the replies.

The Autoplay Repair at:

http://www-stud.uni-essen.de/~sddabacz/prog.php?id=apr

didn't work, probably because I don't have Net Framework but the one here:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/autoplayhandlers.htm. did.

All's OK now and the rogue entry has gone.
