Hey guys, this integration into the OS is quite annoying, any idea how to remove opera from autostart items? Each time i pop my external HDD there's the usual options and ..With opera without even an icon in there>< I tried modifing the Autostart handlers in tweak UI but the opera one isn't there, any help appreciated^^

Ok, here's what I did to fix this annoyance...

Open up regedit, and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers\ShowPicturesOnArrival

Delete the OperaViewPicturesOnArrival string.

Next go to:

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

Delete the OperaViewPicturesOnArrival key.

Done!

This works fine for me, but I have to add the old disclaimer...USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

If you're not really bothered, but that broken Opera Icon annoys you when autoplay opens, just go to:

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

Click on the DefaultIcon string and change "X:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe,0"

to X:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe,0

(X being whatever letter that drive is assigned to)
