Re: CD-burning support

Rock shared these words of wisdom:

Only oddity remaining - and in so far different from the situation
on my notebook and my TabletPC -:
When Autoplay fires on inserting a blank (re-)writable disc the
dialog for selecting the wanted action is empty. It does neither
show the option to "open the folder for recordable CD" nor to use Roxio.

This is corresponding to the fact that in the drive's
properties-dialog under "Autoplay" I can not make any selection.

Does anyone have any idea on where to look in the registry for
setting the Autoplay options?
I could then have a look in the proper section on my other
computers and perhaps take over the settings from there (the drives in questions are used on all three machines).

Do you have TweakUI from Microsoft? If not get it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/default.mspx

Naturally I have it ;-)
Since the very first version (long before XP) TweakUI has been on each and any computer within my reach ;-) and whenver setting up a system the first thing after the basic OS install is to install TweakUI.

If I recollect correctly it has an autoplay section where you can
modify what shows up there.

Thanks a whole lot for this hint!
Don't know why this did not come into my mind :-( :-(

Take a look and see if removing, updating any items will help.

Been ther, done that.
It took a while and it needed quite some iterations with disabling, re-enabling and so forth.
But finally it worked!!
Everything is fine now.
On inserting a blank disc the dialog comes up with all options I have enabled (incl. Roxio <gbg>).

I owe you quite something. You re-enabled my system - the main step without even knowing <gbg> and the final polishing with poiting to TweakUI.

Kindest regards from Germny and and a ton of good wishes for the upcoming New Year

Yours thankfully

You're more than welcome Rainald; usually I'm a hindrance with/without knowing it, so it's nice to be of help without knowing, lol...same to you for the new year.
