    I just forget were I saw the option to add items to open with? Can someone remind me. i want my insertion of a blank disk to have the option of opening my CD burning software.

    Also when I open windows explorer it defaults to the documents folder. I want it to go to C drive. Does this require a registry edit?

    Thanks.

    For the Windows Explorer question:

    Right click on the shortcut you use to open Windows Explorer, go to Properties. In the "Target" window, type in (or copy and paste from here):

    C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe ,/n, /e,/root,c:\select, c:\

    Click OK.

    That will open WE to the C drive with the drive expanded.

    And for your first question .....

    If you don't already have it download TweakuiXP from MS.

    Then ....

    Run Tweakui > navigate to My Computer in the LH pane > Autoplay and expand Autoplay > Handlers > Create.
