Open Automatically in Windows 10

Post by TechLife »

Has anyone found a way to have MMKV open automatically when a DVD or Blu Ray is inserted on Win 10? I had Win 7 setup to do it using "Default Programs Editor" but the author has not updated that program in several years and of course, it doesn't work in Win 10.

Probably why it doesn't work in Win10 is that it has always been a security nightmare to have auto-play turned on for ANY device. You may have to modify your local security policy to allow assignment of a default program, in addition to setting the default program.

I have done this on my Windows 10 system. The basic instructions for configuring your Autoplay settings are found at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... d0400edbe7. However, you also need to use a third party tool called Default Programs Editor (http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/defau ... and-vista/) in order to add MakeMKV as an option to the autoplay list. It's possible you could avoid using the third party tool by modifying the registry instead, but I don't know what would be required for that.
