Windows 10: Add my App to Win 10 Autoplay Options

I have searched everywhere trying to find a way to add my own App to the list of selectable options in Autoplay defaults. I can't believe I'm the only person in the universe who wants to do so. (I have Visual Studio 2008 for App development)
I have tried writing a .dll and putting Registry entries in Root, HK_Local_Machine Classes and Autoplayhandlers. But my App doesn't appear in the list of selectable options.
I want my own App to put photos into my Gallery structure, the MS option just doesn't do what I want.
Has anyone else done something similar or have any clues on how it can be done?
Dicky.

How to Add App to AutoPlay Options?

David,

If it works in your older computer I guess the answer should be easy (assuming the same Adobe software/version installed in both computers). Export the key from your old system:

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

Upload to your cloud account and share the link.

Thank you for your assistance,

Unfortunately, when I visit 'Set defaults by app,' most of my applications do not appear in the list. There's maybe sixty default Windows 10 apps and just five of the dozens I've installed so far - Firefox, Chrome, iTunes, SketchUp, and WinRAR. Missing
is the entire Adobe suite (two-dozen separate apps), the entire Corel suite (half a dozen apps), the Microsoft Office 2007 suite (half a dozen apps), Quicken, Quickbooks, and a few dozen more.

Any ideas?

 

Hi try this useful program:

 

Thanks dalchina,
I was trying to avoid third party apps. What I was hoping for is the Win 10 equivalent of the following link which works for XP but not Win 10.

Much safer to use a GUI than editing the registry. Good luck anyway.
