Windows XP device action

[ASB]

A little off topic, but this is the General area.

Does anyone know how to add programs to the device action dialog?

i.e. When i put a dvd into my drive a dialog opens that says:

DVD Movie
what do you want windows to do?

Play DVD vidio
using windows media player

Play DVD movie
using PowerDVD

Open folder to view files
using windows explorer

Take no action


I want to add more programs to this list i.e. DVDDecrypter, dvd2one, ic7 and dvdshrink.

Anyone know how to do this??

check out this site, its for adding nero when a blank CD is inserted, but you can change it so that it opens DVD Decrypter when a DVD-Video is inserted.

I've done it before, but i never got the icons to come up. Pretty handy.

Hi DicktheP

Thanks for your feedback. I kept searching and found an easy solution using TweekUI downloadable for Microsoft.com. With this little app (under autoplay) you can add programs to the auto play dialog. I just added DVDdecrypter and it worked great.

silly me, no reason to add dvd2one and ic7!!
But I have added dvddecrypter and dvdshrink with icons
