is it possible to set the autoplay to always open removable devices in windows explorer? I used the settings offered in the autoplay dialog and set the openning in Explorer for almost all content types, but after inserting a flash disk, I get the dialog again.

I need this for my visually impaired sister - for her it is not comfortable always to select the appropriate item in menu or always close it and go to My Computer.

She uses Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

thanks

  • Try start - control panel - autoplay and change it for each type of media. I don't know how to set it for all plug & play devices

  • Hmm, this is strange - I thought I set it for almost all the items - surely for "mixed-content" - however, as I checked it, it was set to ask for action - changed to open in Explorer and seeems to be solved now.

Reset to default

Go to Start - Control Panel - Autoplay and select the default action for each type of media. By default, Windows 7 has autorun.ini disabled for USB devices to protect against malware. If this doesn't solve your problem, you may need to enable autorun.ini and create it on the media for your sister.
