I've got a Laptop with Vista Home Premium 64bit and I had Nero v7 installed on it, which never really worked well...

Being the laptop is a HP system is comes with Cyberlinks DVDsuite which does all the same stuff and works...

so I un-installed Nero from the system using the 'Nero Cleaning tool' from Aheads website..

Now I thought this would remove ALL traces od nero from the system, including the 'autorun' dialogue.. but it hasn't!.. it still askes me if i want to burn with Nero etc... when I put a blank disc in the drive... but the icons are the blank white 'No Icon' from microsoft cos the program isn't there...

This looks messy and is annoying as they are the top options with cyberlink being far down the list!!..

Is there a way of removing these options from the dialogue??.. XP had tweakUI which let you remove crap entries.. but Vista64 doesn't seem to have such a helpful program!!..

Any help would be greatfully recieved..

Cheers
Simon. :)

Any other utilities out there??... like a version of TweakUI for Vista??
 
FYI...

Just in case anyone has a similar issue, the Reg entries to look at are:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ Handlers \ <handler>

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ AutoplayHandlers \ EventHandlers \ <Event Name>

I went through each key and deleted every NERO string.

I'd still like to find a TweakUI for Vista though!!... hint hint!!..
 
Yep!!...

Its a known problem in Vista aparently!!.. as it was in XP till the cleanup tool... they've not sorted the tool yet!! (from what I've been reading)
 
Ahhh... didn't catch the Hijack!!... I was after a Nero Cleaner... didn't see the Alternative to Nero bit!!...

:p:p
