Editing AutoPlay list from Registry

Win Xp Pro.

When you pop a disc into a drive, you can specify to have an AutoPlay window pop up and ask you what you want to do with the CD and with which program you'd like to use to perform that function (eg, Rip with RealAudio, Play with Win Media Player, etc.)

Anyway, one of my options is to play with a media player that I've uninstalled. Anyone know which registry key to go to to remove the outdated option?

Thanks.

    Here is how you change the autoplay option

    1. Open my computer
    2. Under Devices with Removable Storage, right-click the device you want, such as a digital camera or CD-ROM drive, and then click Properties.
    3. On the autoplay tab, click the multimedia content type you want to change.
    4. Under Actions, click the action you want Windows to perform when it detects the media type you selected.

    No, I have it set so that it asks me each time what action to take. I want to edit that list of options.

    I used Registry Mechanic. Found 100 problems but didn't fix this issue.

    I searched the registry manually already, but the term I searched for came up numerous times and I don't know which key is responsible.

    Sorry, miss understood your question.  Thought you were stuck on autoplay with a none existent product.
     
    I can't find a specific entry in the registry.  I think each product posts it's eligibility so search the registry for the removed product name.  You can also clean up the registry with one of the regclean tools which removes references to products no longer installed.
