How do you add...

How do you add a program to the Auto Insert window that pops up when you insert a CD or DVD?

Any ideas?

TweakUI has an option to do it.

Thanks for the link, EzyStvy. Any ideas on how to do it without a need for a download / install?

To change how your computer handles multimedia content

Open My Computer.

Under Devices with Removable Storage, right-click the device you want, such as a digital camera or CD-ROM drive, and then click Properties.

On the AutoPlay tab, click the multimedia content type you want to change.

Under Actions, click the action you want Windows to perform when it detects the media type you selected.

Sorry I wasn't more clear. When I stick in a DVD, I get the popup with 1/6 dozen or so options of what to do. What I want to do is add the option to open the DVD with Nero Express if I wanted to.

I have a set top DVD burner and it's burn job on RWs isn't 100% compatible with my other players. If I run it thru Nero Express, then the disc will work in all my other players. So, I just want it handy in the popup instead having to fire up Nero.

it should really be simpler than this, but I guess that's what TweakUI is for, anyway, here you go.

If you have Nero StartSmart, you can click on the "configure" tab and select "Automatically Launch Nero StartSmart Whwn A Disc Is Inserted".
