HoriZon-UK Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Hello my 1st post on these boards :) I seemed to have lost my Auto play icons: Any ideas on how to get them back? I have tried rebuild icons in Tweak UI. It seems to work fine it's just well grrr :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Never seen this, but I have lost all the settings for autoplay before. I had to delete the device from hardware manager, reboot, and reinstall the device to get the autoplay back right. The last time Roxio install screwed up the autoplay settings. Holy ****.... I just looked at my autoplay settings...and guess what? There gone too! I just installed a Roxio update today.... I'll delete the device and let's see what happens. I'll get back to you later.

smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Well you can all thank Roxio for your screwed up autoplay settings. Here is what I did: First I found the registry entry that matains the autoplay settings, you can find it at: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAutoplayHandlersHandlers] Within the reg entries below this key you will find a key for each type of autoplay. Within each of those keys you will find a string value called DefaultIcon. This is the key that the Roxio update screws up. Now, there are 2 updates on Roxio's site, one that updates drivers for XP (XP_UP.exe) and one that updates the programs (ECDC_v5.02d_up.exe). The file that destroys the registry entries is the driver update (XP_UP.exe). What it actually does is take out the DefaultIcon string leaving just a "%"....why I have no idea, probably a bogus install routine. The second update didn't do anything to the registry keys...so basically you have to beware of the drivers update (XP_UP.exe) Since Neowin is not allowing attachments right now I will copy/paste the reg file here to fix the issue. Otherwise if you want the actually file, you can email me. One Note: Please check you registry at the key mentioned above. Look at the number of subkeys under it and verify how many there are. The reg file I'm including is a basic set taken from a clean install of XP. My exisiting key had 15 subkeys but the patch only had 12, so I had to copy a couple of existing subkeys to the patch. What I did was rename the "Handlers" subkey to "Handles-old" then import the patch and then copied over the remaining keys from "old" that were needed. I know this is confusing but once you start checking it out, you'll understand. Of course, if you have never messed with the registry before I suggest not doing this. Here is the regfile needed to fix the autoplay settings icons. Copy the following into notepad and save with a .reg extension so that it can be imported.

HoriZon-UK Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 Ah n1 I am unsure on how to edit the reg. Roxio said nothing about this yet? One thing to note I still have a icon for DVD, CD's and one for Roxio it self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Originally posted by HoriZon-UK Ah n1 I am unsure on how to edit the reg. Roxio said nothing about this yet? I doubt Roxio will say anything about it, once they destroyed it they can't totally repair it successfully. All they could do is fix the standard entries. ANy program you install that deals with autoplay settings can not be fixed now. Maybe their patch only effect standard entries but how to know. Most people will probably never notice that this patch did it. The only reason I knew is because I saw this once before with another patch from Roxio. In fact, it wat the same type of patch that I installed for the basic easy cd creator. Obviously some should can Roxio to let them know they are screwing systems across the world.

HoriZon-UK Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 The autoplay seems to work fine, I can still autoplay DVD's and open up a picture CD no problem all that's missing is the icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I know, mine too. The only setting that the Roxio update scrfewed up was the icon setting. One simple reg. entry. At least know you have the details to fix it. Here's what you can do. Do a system restore checkpoint, then just import the reg file. Worse case, you can restore back to the system point. I'll send you the file so you can import it just by double-clicking on the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoriZon-UK Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 I just sent a mail for it. Thanks very much. One other thing: Note: If you modify the installation of Easy CD Creator after it is installed and working in Windows XP, you should reapply the xp_up.exe to avoid possible problems. If I were to modify ECD and reaplly this patch wouldn't it mess them up once more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I really don't understand why they keep making us reinstall this patch. I understand doing it the first time, but there's no reason to reinstall the patch again. It's as confusing as when adaptec owned the software. personally, I will never apply that patch again...only program file updates for me. No matter what their site says.

HoriZon-UK Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 That worked great all back how it should be now. I'm glad I wasn't the only one with this problem :) It won't effect Roxio ECD in any way though it will still burn as before? I for one won't be updating this ECD software again, as the old saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it! :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittyofdhs Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I usually always update to the latest version of software only because I'm a IT director and need to see what changes were made and if the product has viable new features. I agree, this is one software that I probably won't update again. Really, if it is successfully burning cd's today, an update isn't going to make it any better. Most of the Roxio updates are for new hardware (cd burners) and very few bug fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoriZon-UK Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Lo m8 Dunno if you have noticed this but there is a 5.1 Platinum Migration "uneng.exe" in the Windows folder. Might need that one day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
