Windows 7: Auto play settings no longer works

Hi,Whatever setting i try it does'nt do anything like "ask me every time"or set a program as a default to play a blu-ray or open nikon transfer for picture files from sd card.
Was working before.So far i've tried system restore and sfc /scannow but still the same.Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers Tommy.

Hey have you tried the following:

start --> control panel --> programs --> change default settings for media or devices

and adjusting those settings?

Yeah,does nothing.

Fix Windows 7 AutoPlay Dialog Box Missing or Not Appear, Display and Pop Up « My Digital Life

Does this fix your issue?

Thanks mangoh.Section 4 was the fix by changing the registry key nodriveautorun from 255 to 145.
At first it did'nt work but,but i went into auto play settings and did a "reset all defaults" then restarted laptop and it's working the way it's supposed to.
Looks like i'm gonna get some sleep tonight,thanks again for the link your a gem.

You have just increased the probability of infecting your computer. Not a wise decision.

How come?

Good glad it worked

Have you any idea what "Karlsnooks" means when he says "You have just increased the probability of infecting your computer. Not a wise decision."
It's the 6th post down.

Nope I'm still waiting for a response.

I wouldn't worry too much as tbh there are tons of ways for a computer to get infected as long as you take sensible precautions you should be fine e.g. anti-virus program kept up-to-date, run scan every now and then etc...
