It worked a month ago and I used to get a choice of applications i.e. media player, open folder, burn with Nero etc, so maybe a program I have installed recently has messed Auto-play up. I have looked on Microsoft's Knowledge Base help and it suggests Auto-play may be deactivated in the Registry but it appears to be enabled ( that is it shows a 1 value not a 0) Can anyone suggest a remedy and also how to add other media players to my choice rather than just Windows Media Player? Yours Martin.	martini (3110)

As I was just wondering if the tick has been removed from there, which would cause that possibly.... cause it does sound a little like the tick in the setting: Prompt me each time to choose an action may have been removed??? But i am guessing it won't be that easy ;-):-)	J ZEP (336)
