Cannot uninstall imgburn

[zulli85]

Hi there. I've been trying to uninstall imgburn but I cannot do so properly. I ran the uninstaller through the Control Panel but img burn was still autoplaying when I put a DVD into the disk drive. I could not run or find the uninstaller after the first attempt so I deleted the folder from my programs. Now when I put a movie in the disk drive I get an error saying "d:\ Application not found. I just want the normal Autoplay screen to pop up. Any ideas what I should do? Thanks very much for any help.

Autoplay is handled by Windows. You configure what it does when you insert a disc via the 'Autoplay' option in Control panel (It's under 'Hardware and Sound' in Windows 7 if that helps). You can also access it via 'Default Programs' off the Start Menu.

 

ImgBurn doesn't ever make itself *the* app that runs when you insert a disc, it just adds itself as an app that you *could* choose to run when you insert a disc. If it does run automatically, it's because of something you've done or because Windows has done it automatically (probably the latter).

 

Uninstalling ImgBurn should remove all the files *it* installs and remove everything *it* puts in the registry - I made the uninstaller pretty thorough.

 

If you're finding that you've got some stuff left over, it could come from rogue versions you've got dotted around your hdd. A lot of other apps bundle their own local copy of ImgBurn to handle the burning stuff.

 

As a last resort, the autoplay handlers are contained within the following registry key :-

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers

 

You could browse through it (and the subkeys) to find any old ImgBurn entries and remove them.

 

Installing ImgBurn (latest version) and Uninstalling it again may also remove them.
