You have got to do better than this – while the article might help someone who never bothered to explore their computer’s operating system it is far from useful. Why not expand by explaining how to change the default Autoplay options. For instance if I hate Windows Media Player and want to use KMPlayer – how do I customize my Autoplay function to show another media player?
I completely agree! Pretty standard info you can find anywhere on the web. Useless to me – I wanna control Autoplay.

After some Google research here is what I found, tried, and confirmed it works like a charm (http://www.orangeblue.net.ms/). In fact some 15 Google search pages later, and rather unbelievably, this was the only solution I could find that was a no-brainer.
Needless to say Microshaft strikes again by deciding what the user wants instead of offering an even semi-open platform that does not require hacking.

Yes this should be a default for Windows. And I see the related link here now. Thanks!

That default program editor worked great. I use audiograbber to rip all my cds, but the option was not listed in windows autoplay settings and there was no way to ad a custom command.

I have three external hard drives connected to my computer, which is running Windows 7 (64-bit) Professional. Is it possible to not get the AutoPlay pop-up option to display after boot on those drives? If I disable all AutoPlay then when I place a SD card in the reader Lightroom will not auto-import. For some reason, perhaps my stupidity, I wasn’t able to obtain results with the file in the 12/12/2010 entry above.

when i go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Autoplay>Devices there are devices like tablets and cell phones that belonged to my friends when they downloaded music that aren’t used with my pc anymore. How to i remove them from being listed. I went into RegEdit like it said above but didnt know what to remove. Do i remove everything but the default setting?

Is there a way to “customize” autoplay for a specific device and action? I want to start smart switch (phone sync program) when I plug my phone in to my windows 10/64 pc… or can a macro (that simply opens an app…maybe more) be triggered to run upon phone connection?

Now that would make this a true resource!
Point taken. We will try to publish something in the future about this. Thanks for the suggestion. 😉
