Disable the win mediaplayer ...

[MrRolf]

Im making a simple VB app that plays audio CD's , with mci call.

But, when i put an audio cd in the CD-ROM, default windows player starts
up.

Have someone managed to disable this ?, should it be possible progamatically
?

What is it you're looking to change? Do you want to turn off AIN (Auto Insert Notification) or
change the default CD player?

Well, I think it must be the Auto Insert Notification, just knowing the name
of it helps a lot.

I must disable Auto Insert Notification, in the install procedure.
(Without knowing if this is wise regarding the rest of the system)

Thanks

Disabling the auto-insert notification is not a good idea since it is a system wide setting that can
affect other applications (Roxio's EZ CD Creator is one of those).

Most applications like this *offer* to make their player the default player either during
installation or when the app is launched. I believe this is controlled by the HKCR\AudioCD entry in
the Registry.

HAppy tea time
Forget that last mail , i was writing in my sleep...

I must of course change the default windows mediaplayer.

So folks , my install procedure must change default mediaplayer, I believe
this is done in some ini file , or registry somwhere. What i dont know if
is if this is usual matter...

->VB is in, C++-> out

I believe that would be the Registry entry I mentioned above. If you're still stick on what to do,
post a follow up.
