What Do You Want to do?

Using Win XP w/SP2 and current updates.

When I insert a DVD/CD a window opens asking

"What do you want to do?"

Create a CD?DVD ... using xxxxxxx
Open writeable Folder ... using xxxxx
Burn Audio CD ... using xxxxx
Play video ... using xxxxxx
+ more

My question is how do I remove entries from this window that are no longer
installed on my machine.
I removed Nero and I still get the options to use Nero's programs.

Thanks
Larry

You can download a utility from this web site that should do
the job. If you prefer to edit the registry yourself, you'll
find instructions at the end of the article. The Nero entries
can be found in this key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers
