| 847153 | 2010-01-08 23:03:00 | Hi all, For some reason on my computer, the autoplay command on all drives has disappeared. A few weeks later, the open command on all folders disappeared and was replaced with "Play with VLC Media player". These things have all happened randomly. |

| 847157 | 2010-01-09 00:44:00 | I will when i get the chance. What about the folders? Just as an experiment, i tried adding an open command to the folder. In the 'application used to perform action' box, i put the windows explorer path. However, it does open a floder, but only in a new window, and it also takes quite a long time. On another computer, I tried to find out what the opening application was for a folder, but the edit button was greyed out. | bot (15449) | ||
| 847158 | 2010-01-09 01:49:00 | Just a guess. But I think what may have happened is at some time something had to be opened, like a media file, and the open with VLC player may have been selected, somehow its now opening every thing -- Try this - May or may not work> Open VLC player go to tools/ Preferences / Under interface, click on Reset preferences - Highlighted area (www.imagef1.net.nz) this will take it back to default settings, and "may" bring back the correct commands. ALSO go HERE (www.kellys-korner-xp.com) locate # 220 -- download the reg fix file, you may need to rename it from "openrestore.reg.txt to openrestore.reg then right click it, merge. Note: there are several other "open" fixes on that site, do a search for the word OPEN in that page and select a fix if needed. |

| 847159 | 2010-01-09 03:10:00 | ok here's what's happened. The open command disappeared from the right-click folder menu to be replaced by play with vlc. | bot (15449) | ||
| 847160 | 2010-01-09 21:05:00 | Well, I tried the registry fix. There seems to be two types of folders - file folder and folder. What the fix did was place the original open command in the folder command list. All I had to do was delete the open command I made from the file folder, and it worked. The autorun fix has worked as well. Thanks guys you have been a great help | bot (15449) | ||
