Windows XP SP1 also adds a feature that retains the user's choice of AutoPlay action if they do not click the Always do the selected action box. If a user chooses an AutoPlay action for a single instance, the next time that dialog is presented for that media type, the same action is the default selection. For an application to be included in the list of possible actions, it must be registered with AutoPlay.
The following dialog box is displayed when any medium containing a mix of supported file types is presented to the system. This is essentially the same as the single content medium dialog box but with two significant differences.
First, the available action options consist of a filtered list of applications relevant to all content types present on the medium. Second, there is no option to choose a permanent default action because the content types and percentages of mixed content media are too unpredictable. Each device type offers an appropriate subset of content types for AutoPlay configuration. In turn, each content type, when selected, offers an appropriate list of action options in the list box.
A different action can be chosen for each content type. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. This is because, by default, Autorun on network drives is set to disabled in the registry.
After you install the update, a registry key that was already set to disable Autorun on network drives is enforced correctly. This is the only functionality that will change after the update is installed. If a user had disabled Autorun for other drives before the update, they may notice a change in the double-click and contextual menu behavior after the update. Is this a security vulnerability that requires Microsoft to issue a security update?
Disabling the Autorun feature is an optional configuration that some customers may decide to deploy. Update only resolves the issue with Autorun functionality. Why am I being redirected to update when I was looking for update ? Update and update offer the same updates. Only the delivery channels for these were different.
Update was released only for Download Center while update was released for Windows Update, for Automatic Updates, and for the Download Center.
To avoid duplication of the same information, you are being redirected to update , which has all the latest information about these updates. If I have update or update installed on my computer, will I be reoffered update ? No, update is the same update that was released as update but was packaged under update Therefore, if Add or Remove Programs shows that update or update is installed, you do not require update , and it will not be offered by Windows Update or Automatic Updates.
Do these updates disable Autorun capabilities? The updates that are offered correctly respect the registry key values that disable Autorun capabilities. These updates do not change the registry key values and will continue to respect values that were already set before these updates were installed. If the registry values were not set before you install these updates, then the registry key settings will have to be set appropriately in order to disable Autorun capabilities.
Where are the updates for Windows Vista and Windows Server ? Updates for Windows Vista and Windows Server were released together with some security updates in security update security bulletin MS In order to take advantage of the registry key settings that disable Autorun, customers who are running Windows Vista or Windows Server based systems must install security update Update is reoffered multiple times Update may be reoffered if the HonorAutorunSetting registry setting that is described in this article is not added to the registry hive.
This issue may occur if some other program that is installed on the computer blocks the update from writing the registry entry. Such software may block the update during the installation of the update or may remove the registry entry after the computer is restarted. To resolve this problem, install the update in safe mode. To do this, follow these steps:. In the Search for a download box, type the number of the Knowledge Base article that describes the update, and then click Go.
Double-click the downloaded file to install it. If you are prompted to restart the computer, do so. Visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site to determine whether the update is offered again. If you are offered the update again, continue to the next step. Install the update in safe mode. Safe mode disables most running processes and services. You're comment really made me smile, its my first Instructable! I really hate that too, especially when i;m doing something important and i need something from my flash drive, it pops infront of what i;m doing.

SUMMARY The last few years have seen dramatic growth in digital multimedia content and an increasing number of devices generating such content. Accordingly, the Autoplay feature of Microsoft Windows has been enhanced to handle these scenarios. This article presents samples that use the new features and provides advice on how to take advantage of these additions.
The topics covered include Autoplay support for audio CDs and for DVD movies, the Autoplay registration process, event handlers, and how your software can cancel Autoplay when you don't want certain files interrupted. The download includes tools for diagnosing problems and to help the reader understand the shell hardware detection service processing of hardware events.
Specifying Autorun. The icon entry value is a text string. It may contain either a path to an icon. ICO file or a path to an executable file followed by a comma and the numeric identifier of the icon resource resource ID contained in the file as I've just shown in the code. If the resource ID is positive, it denotes the index of the resource within the file; if negative, it denotes a resource ID number.
References using icon index values may be invalidated if icon resources move within the file. Therefore it is recommended that resource IDs be used instead of index values. The label value is simply a string. This value is new to Windows and Windows Me and will have no effect on prior releases.
These two values, icon and label, are used to represent the associated drive in the Windows shell. The open value is used to specify the command line that will be executed when some media triggers Autoplay.
The value should contain a valid path relative to the root of the media to an executable file followed by any required arguments. Unlike CreateProcess, ShellExecuteEx works with file associations to run the application associated with the specified file. For example, if you specify readme. INF file should include both the ShellExecute and open commands. Finally, the UseAutoPlay value should be set to 1 for media that want to use the new Autoplay V2 features on platforms that support it.
This value was introduced in Windows XP and will have no effect on prior versions of Windows. When this value is present, it will take precedence over the open and ShellExecute values. As with the ShellExecute value, this value should be used with care. It is intended primarily for use with multimedia content for which Autoplay support was added to Windows XP. If the media might be used on earlier versions of Windows, the Autorun. To maintain support for existing media using Autoplay V1 features, Autoplay V2 drops back to V1 behavior in some scenarios.
If Autoplay V2 finds an Autorun. Since personalization is a key feature of the Windows XP shell, one of the advantages of Autoplay V2 is that the user can associate favorite applications with the various events and actions provided through Autoplay.
Furthermore, as the adoption of Windows XP increases over time, the need for media to support the older Autoplay features will diminish. This registration works on all versions of Windows that support Autoplay. Windows XP introduces a new registration scheme for audio CDs that allows multiple applications to register for specific Autoplay events and actions. CDs containing music content are a good example. Since music is a popular content type, it is common for multiple music-related applications to be installed on a computer at the same time.
Prior to Autoplay V2, the installation of a new application would replace the Autoplay registration of the previously installed application such that only the most recently installed application would respond to Autoplay events, even though both applications were installed on the system.
To remedy this problem, audio CDs can now use the Autoplay V2 registration. This new registration scheme allows for more than one application to be registered for the same content type and provides ways for the user to pick the preferred application and to change it at will. Coexistence of these applications is now possible. Information on how to register for Autoplay V2 is presented later in this article. The Autoplay V1 registration mechanism is still supported for backward compatibility.
If an application registers for Autoplay using both the V1 and V2 mechanisms, Windows XP will ignore the V1 registration and use only the V2 registration. Automatically Opening Folders On Windows Me and Windows , Autoplay V1 opens a folder to display the contents of a newly mounted hard disk drive or to display the contents of network drives mapped through the Map Network Drive menu option in Windows.
Likewise, if there is an Autorun. Starting with Windows XP, Autoplay V2 opens a folder following the insertion of media in a CD drive or removable disk drive if it can't find an Autorun. INF file and the Autoplay V2 content sniffing does not find any known content. Content sniffing is new to Autoplay V2 and is explained later in this article. This behavior also applies to removable hard disks, like USB and hard disks.
Event Categories in Autoplay V2 Like its predecessor, Autoplay V2 provides a software response to hardware actions initiated by the user on the machine. When determining what actions to suggest or perform in response to an event, Autoplay V2 considers the event in conjunction with the various programs registered on the computer.
In contrast, Autoplay V1 would always statically run the same application pointed to in the Autorun. Two categories of events are handled by Autoplay V2: volume-based device events and non-volume-based device events.
