Autoplay launches all application

I was going to install programs on my new laptop from a CDto when Windows
media center interface pops up. I could not install the program. But also all
other installed software that I click on would only launch Windows Media
Player. I have tried resetting autoplay defaults to "take no action" and
uncheck the box for "use autoplay for all media and devices" to no effect

Help!!

Re: Autoplay launches all application


So if you run any EXE the player launches? That sounds lke the .exe
association is corrupt and should be reset.
