Can I disable window autoplay function programatically with C#/.NET?

Question

Does anybody know a way to deactivate the autoplay function of windows using c#/.NET?

Answer 1

RegisterWindowMessage is a Win32 API call. So you will need to use PInvoke to make it work..

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class Win32Call
{
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
   public static extern int RegisterWindowMessage(String strMessage);
}

// In your application you will call

Win32Call.RegisterWindowMessage("QueryCancelAutoPlay");

From here (The Experts-Exchange link at the top). There is additional help on that site with some more examples that may be a little more comprehensive than the above. The above does however solve the problem.
