Hiya!

TimW sent me over here for the following problem.

After this infection, my computer quit automatically opening up programs the way it had in the past. Mainly the one where when I attach my Digital Camera a little Wizard would open up and start running or at the very least the Windows prompt that would ask you what you wanted open the file with. Thats gone now. Any way to make this work again?

Im sorry this doersnt help me at all. Im uncomfortable about doing ANYTHING regarding my registery without step by stpe instructions. And the wizard doesnt open up when you insert a disk either. The Wizard itself appears to be gone, or at the very least its not opening the way it should.

Can someone else please lend a hand?

In my computer, right-click the drive you use for opening the disk for properties, click Autoplay tab, select a content type from the drop-down menu, select an action to do, ok.

I think it's mixed content for photos.

If you have any pictures on your computer that you want, burn them to a CD so you have them. Then I'd suggest uninstalling the camera software, rebooting, then installing the camera software again.

Download and run Tweak UI PowerToy

After installation, launch Tweak UI, double-click on My Computer in the tree menu on the left, then click on AutoPlay > Drives. This will allow you to change the system settings for AutoPlay/autorun.

Check or uncheck the drives you want to adjust AutoPlay on and click on Apply.

Next, click on the Types in the left tree. This allows you to control whether Autoplay is enabled for CD and DVD drives and removable drives. You may need to restart Tweak UI if it closes after step 2.

Check or uncheck the box to adjust Autoplay for a particular type of drive.
