Autoplay XP SP2

I believe the autoplay feature got corrupted. I don't know how and like to
know if there's a quick fix? When I right click on a CD Drive, and click
the Autoplay Tab, the content listing is there, but when I click on the
pictures content, it is empty, nothing to choose from. To make matters
worse this is what Autoplay used to open CD's, regardless of the content on
the CD. This happens to all users using the computer, so it's a universal
problem. On the Autoplay Tab, the restore Default has been done, to prompt
me each time. But it's not doing it.

Hope someone can help.

Hi Mark,

pictures content, it is empty, nothing to choose from

Click Start/Run and type these commands to restore missing handlers:

regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
regsvr32 actxprxy

Hi Ramesh:

Thanks for the help, I tried what you suggested. Unfortunately, it did not
correct the problem. I even re-started the computer, there is no content
under Pictures in AutoPlay, it's still blank. Don't know if it would make a
difference but I'm using the XP Professional.

I did it in two parts, that is, I entered - regsvr32 /i shell32.dll - click
OK, a message came up saying succeeded. I entered - regsvr32 actxprxy -
click OK and a message came up, saying succeeded.

I hope you have another idea/suggestion to try.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Is this happenning only to the "Pictures" event in the drop-down box?

Open Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Explorer
\AutoplayHandlers
\EventHandlers
\ShowPicturesOnArrival

-and-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\SOFTWARE
\Microsoft
\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\Explorer
\AutoplayHandlers
\Handlers

Export each key to separate REG files and post them here.

Yes, only the Pictures Content is blank. Plus, no matter what CD is
inserted; music or data (with no pictures), Autoplay always brings up
the empty Pictures Content screen.

Attached are the two exported reg files you asked (I changed the extension
to .txt so that others won't accidentally open it thus installing on there
computer's).

Thank You for looking into this, hope you find a solution.

Thanks, Mark. Now, I assume you have the backup REG files in a safer =
location.

Try this:

Under [EventHandlers\ShowPicturesOnArrival], delete the following items =
one at a time. Close and re-open the Autoplay tab and see if that fixes =
the problem. If that does not help, try deleting the next ones... close =
and re-open AutoPlay tab...and so forth. (This is a trial-and-error =
method)

"HPUnloadAutoplay"=3D""
"SonicRnCopyDisc"=3D""
"SonicRnBurnDataDisc"=3D""
