| 243140 | 2004-06-09 08:10:00 | Hi Team I have just changed over to my second computer (W2K, PIII 550) to use it on a more regular basis and I like to use Windows own CD player to play the odd CD while I work. I also have Roxio easy CD & DVD Creator V6 installed and on inserting an audio CD I found that it auto-opened both the Roxio Audio Central CD player and my Kodak Easyshare One-Touch camera download window. No probs, I thought, just reassign the file types and all will be well. No such luck! Even though I had set audio CDs to open with cdplayer.exe and double checked all the settings, Roxio insisted on opening Audio Central. I then went into Audio Central tools and found a check-box option to remove audio cds from the play list, inserted CD and sat back to listen. Windows Media player popped up instead, plus Kodak Easyshare again! I repeated the tools/options/uncheck audio CDs and at last I had Windows CD player..............Plus Kodak yet again! There is no way Easyshare has an exe called CD Player, but I am at a complete loss to know where to look for the link that is actuating it. Could it be a shared DLL or some such? I haven't done a Web search yet but I'll probably post the question to Kodak in due course. In the meantime, I have great faith in the PF1 community to suggest an option or two so I thought I'd start here. Cheers Billy 8-{) :( |

| 243141 | 2004-06-09 09:15:00 | Hi Billy Dont know the answer, but when I had Kodak Easyshare installed on my compter it seemed to take over. I mean every time I started the computer K E Share started. And some other strange things that I cant seem to remember at the mo. Hell I just got bloody sick and tired of it I and removed the program and now run FXFoto. No more of K E Share taking over my machine. cheers merlin-nz ;-) |

| 243143 | 2004-06-10 01:54:00 | What, hasn't your camera got a CD player in it? Why did you buy such a function-deficient camera? :D Turn off the "auto-open" option for CD drives. |

I give up (before I even start looking; I've wasted enough time on this problem) where does this option hide? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 243145 | 2004-06-10 05:15:00 | In My Computer/Control Panel/Hardware Manager/CD . I think. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 243146 | 2004-06-10 05:49:00 | Nope, nowhere to be found in control panel options, nor in hardware manager. OS is W2K in case I forgot to mention it before. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 243147 | 2004-06-10 06:09:00 | Tried removing the device and letting Windows re-create it? Autoplay usually hides in the My Computer area, right click on the drive/device and go properties. (Works for XP). If you can't see that option maybe you need TweakUI. |
