848018 2010-01-12 09:47:00 I read the link . Let me try explaining it again .

I have a shortcut to DVD Decrypter . If I edit the properties of that shortcut, and place /start at the end of the target (which is pointed at the actual application), then running that shortcut will open DVD Decrypter, and it starts decrypting automatically .

That's fine if I am happy to click the shortcut everytime I put in a DVD, but what I'm trying to do is use the Autoplay function of Windows, which lets you choose a program to run whenever a DVD is inserted, so that when I put a DVD in, DVD Decrypter runs and starts decrypting straight away .

I can choose DVD Decrypter as the default program for DVDs, but it just runs the application, not the shortcut, so it bypasses the /start modifier I added to the shortcut .

The problem is either modifying the application to always use the /start modifier (as opposed to specifying it in the shortcut), or getting Autoplay to point to a shortcut .

Then create a fake app called DVD decrypter with the start switch and point it to the renamed file.

You may have to write a VB script.
