Broken CD Autorun Issue Solved! dMC-r9

[Unregistered]

I can't find a Bug Report Forum so here it is:

With release 9 (on Win2K in this case), the "dMC Audio CD Input" will temporarily copy the contents of the "Default" value for the key below into a dMC subkey and replace this "Default" value with it's own string.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell\ play\command]

When the application terminates it tries to write the original contents back. The problem is that it changes it from a REG_EXPAND_SZ to a REG_SZ in the process so that the %SystemRoot% variable no longer gets resolved to the actual path.

Short Term Solution: Edit the value and overwrite
"%SystemRoot%" with "C:\WINNT" or whatever your windows directory happens to be.

Long Term Solution: Re-Write your code. Why are you trying to temporarily overwrite the "Play" command in the first place?

Just add the following!


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell\ RIP]
@="&RIP with dMC"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell\ RIP\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Illustrate\\dBpowerAMP\\CDGrab.exe\""

It is there to stop another program jumping in when ripping a CD and insterting a new disk.

I am a little confused, to my knowledge a Default "" entry cannot be REG_EXPAND_SZ, it allways has to be REG_SZ?
