    whenever i put a music cd into my dvd drive the autoplay window pops up like normal but 3 of the options to run the disc are from nero. i uninstalled nero before any of this because i didnt need it and i would like to get rid of the 3 options from the autoplay window. how can i go about doing this?

    Maybe Nero left some files/registry keys behind - do a search for "Nero" with the windows search - then delete all files that point to Nero - be careful that you don't delete anything that doesn't have to do with the program.

    Also, I recommend going to www.majorgeeks.com and downloading RegScrub XP - it will clean out your registry of all the broken/useless keys.

    I personally turn off autoplay also in Tweak. I find it very annoying.
