Ramesh,

The regsvr32 scrrun.dll worked and allowed me to run CleanHandlers. I
deleted some that were orphaned or not used at all. It didn't make a
difference however under properties/autoplay tab as there are still no
actions showing up for any of my drives that should have that option. The
autoplay tab is there and I can choose among file types in the drop down- but
the space below that is blank. I used tweakui to look at one of the handler
entries. It was the Open Folder to View files using Windows Explorer entry.
Under Args: it showed /idlist, %I, %L and it was all greyed out. Shouldn't
there be different info in the Args section, like the path to the exe. file
etc...

Thanks.
RandyB.

Have a Happy New Year!
