Question

Is The Source Of This Dialog Box Accessible AND Editable?

by Jun 11, 2011 5:22AM PDT

When I put in a CD or DVD, a small dialog box pops up on the desktop asking "What do you want Windows to do?" and lists actions I could take including opening various programs, depending on what's on the cd/dvd.
What is this dialog box called? Is it editable, meaning is there a folder, somewhere in windows, containing the names of the programs referred to? I ask because some programs (such as Musicmatch Jukebox) are no longer on my system yet the dialog box offers to open them in response to my putting in a cd/dvd, while programs that I do have and would use are not referred to in the dialog box. If I could edit, I could set things right. Thanks very much for any info you can provide.

The dialog box you are seeing is the AutoRun dialog. If you are seeing MusicMatch listed then this probably means that some file types are still associated with that software, so you would need to 're-associate' those file types with your preferred application.

But that link might help you do that, for files on removable media at least.
