in [Computer]

From: ChrisCoaster on 20 Feb 2010 07:20 PC: HP Pavilion with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have owned 3 of the same mp3player in a row, and in auto play options three instances of it apear each with a pulldown for options what to do when it is hooked up to the USB. How can I delete ALL instances of this mp3 player from Windows so I can properly detect and administer(manage music) on the one I currently own? Thanks, ChrisCoaster Diamondback at Kings Island!
From: Jeff Strickland on 20 Feb 2010 17:39 Can you go into Add & Remove Programs and Uninstall two of the three instances? Can you use Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and go into Folder Options and select the File Types tab, scroll down to MP3 and edit the applications that are called?

No such thing as "Windows Explorer" in Vista. <JS> Add & Remove Programs is renamed to Programs and Features, or something close to that. You select from the list that opens and can Uninstall the selection you make. You will find this in the Control Panel, START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL. The name is changed, bu the feature remains the same. Windows Explorer exists in Vista. Right-Click the Start button and choose Explore, or click START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>WINDOWS EXPLORER. Keep in mind, Vista has moved things around from the previous versions, and lots of people that want to offer helpfull suggestions will assume you know the previous versions and the variances that Vista throws at you. </JS>

Because I have now owned 4 of this player - the View, from Sandisk's Sansa division - 4 of them appear in my Auto-Play options box. I would pretty much like to delete all 4 and start from scratch, as alternately one of two slightly different looking windows pops up when I plug the player in via USB. One allows me to see all the contents in the player's folders, the other does not. -CC |
