Expanding AutoPlay software options

[schwine]

I've accessed AutoPlay from My Computer, and I would like to add to the list of software options available to play music cd's within the AutoPlay window.

Does anyone know how this can be done?

Thanks for the tip. Cliff.

If you right click the drive on My Computer and goo the Autoplay tab. The drop down box should have a Music CD option to enable.

Are you missing the option?

Yes, you are right. When I choose the MusicCD option from the drop down menu in AutoPlay, I have three choices: 1. Windows Media Player, 2. Open Folder to View Files, and 3. Take No Action.

It is within this very window in AutoPlay that I would like to expand my list of choices beyond the above three. And this is what I don't know how to do.

I would like to add another music software title to the AutoPlay window, but the AutoPlay window does seem to have a method of expanding its list of three default options.

Related to the AutoPlay window, when I right click onto one of the music tracks within my drive, and select "open with/choose program, " options, I can indeed select my software program of choice.

In this "open with" window there is even a check box for "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." After clicking ok to accept the change made, the desired program of choice opens up. After I close the program and re-insert the cd in the drive to test the new procedure, the program of choice "does not" activate. In fact, nothing happens, even after I restart the computer.

I think the AutoPlay window is a more powerful tool within Windows XP, but it specifically doesn't have an "open with/choose program" option.

So any tip on how to expand the list in the AutoPlay window is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cliff.
