Add XYplorer to AutoplayHandlers

[kiwichick]

Hi there, Can anyone please tell me how I can add XYplorer to AutoplayHandlers so that I can "View files in XYplorer" when I plug in my External HDD, Flash Drive or Memory Card? Cheers.

I remember something like TweakUI could do this on XP. Maybe there's a similar one for Windows 7 and later.

TweakUI can do this (just checked and added it myself!). For W7 and beyond, this looks to be the alternative, but whether it has AutoplayHandlers or not I don't know: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultimate- ... ws-7-vista

Thanks guys, but TweakUI is not compatible with W7 and the Ultimate Windows Tweaker doesn't have AutoplayHandlers. I do actually have a couple of programs (Default Programs Editor and Autoplay Repair) and they can add the handlers but I don't know which handler/s to add for HDD, FlashDrive or Memory Stick (eg: Audio Files, Mixed Content, Pictures, etc). I tried once just adding XYplorer to everything but then I ended up with multiple XYplorer entries when the Autoplay window opens on device connection.

OK so I found a regkey (screenshot 1) that supposedly adds XYplorer to the Autoplay Handlers for Mixed Content. When I use either of the programs above to check (screenshots 2&3), XYplorer has been added but it doesn't show as an option when the drives are plugged in (screenshot 4). On checking the Windows Control Panel/Autoplay (screenshot 5) it doesn't appear, although the Control Panel only shows the "General options" not the "Mixed content options" (as per screenshot 4).



Ideally what I would like to do is add XYplorer to the General Options so it shows up no matter what is plugged in. Help???

Give this one a shot for Win7 - seems to do a good job on my machine and allowed me to clean up a ton of auto handlers that weren't accessible through the normal win7 control panel.. enjoy!

Hi pesto12601, Thanks for the reply but I mentioned in my post, 23 May, that I already have this program but I don't which handlers to add. If you can tell me that, I would be very grateful. Cheers.

OK I've discovered something interesting that may or may not help. I still haven't managed to get XYplorer to show in the Autoplay popup window when a device is plugged in.

But, if I set "View files with XYplorer" as the default for Mixed Media, XYplorer opens when I plug in a device. I set it via the Default Programs Editor software mentioned previously because XYplorer still doesn't show in Windows Control Panel / Autoplay / Mixed content. It just shows a greyed out "Choose a default".

So result, in a way, because I can get the media to open in XYplorer but it would I'd rather have the Autoplay window popup so I get a choice. Especially when plugging in empty media that I want to transfer stuff to because then I just get the General Options popup which doesn't include XYplorer.
