Hello,<br>I would like to suggest the addition of a little feature into ReactOS.<br>Here there is a little reference to be read near my suggestion:<br><br><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/93502.mspx?mfr=true">
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/93502.mspx?mfr=true</a><br><br>Autorun could be useful, but sometimes it&#39;s very annoying.<br>So: what about adding a little page somewhere for configuring it?
<br>Into Win9x it was partially configurable on CD/DVD units, but newer versions of Windows lost completely this ability.<br>I think that a little page with some check-boxes:<br><br>[ ] Disables Autoplay on removable drives
<br>[X] Disables Autoplay on fixed drives.<br><br>..etc<br>would be really cool because it fixes a mess into modern Microsoft&#39;s products.<br>I think it can be done in 100 lines of code (perhaps even less).<br>If we decide that it can be added, we just need to decide where we could put them.
<br><br>I know that ReactOS haven&#39;t autoplay feature yet, but adding its configuration isn&#39;t too difficult.<br>Where can it be placed?<br>Personally, I wouldn&#39;t add a new applet into the control panel only for it.
<br>Or if you don&#39;t want it at all, or you don&#39;t want it for now, it&#39;s ok too.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Carlo Bramini.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Ros-dev mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ros-dev@reactos.org">

autorun.inf, so no more holding shift while inserting CDs. :)&nbsp; It also gives the other usual autoplay options even on CDs that do have a program specified in autorun.inf.<br><br>In my opinion, ReactOS should do it the same way, at least as far as asking whether to run the program or not when you insert a CD or plug in a drive.
