I installed a media program and then deleted it. Now when I put in a CD
the AUTOPLAY options come up and some options to run the deleted program are
still there.. How can I get rid of them?

Thanks.
 
Hi Edward,

What's the name of the problem? Also, did you uninstall the program or simply delete the executable.

Note that the "CleanHandlers" utility works just fine under Windows Vista as well (Ensure that you run it as administrator by right-clicking the program and choosing "Run as Administrator" to run it.)

Correction: should be "name of the *program*"

Thank you for the help. That little program worked to fix the invalid
AutoPlay Handlers! Thanx!
