I have read where it worked for some one running vista at this site; http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/752649-how-do-i-add-non.html even though it was made for xp. For Vista alook here; http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/675710-how-can-i-add-another.html, or here; http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-autoplay-default-setting-or-option-in-windows-vista.html

I had the same problem and used this site to fix it:

[remove spaces, it wouldn't let me post a link]

This worked but the dvd menus weren't working completely perfectly, so I changed the .reg file slightly, by removing the @0:1 from this line

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VideoLAN.Autorun\shell\playdvd\command]
@="\"vlc.exe\" -vvv dvd://%1@0:1"

and now it all works fine.

This doesn't work with Vista x64. The registry addition installed correctly, and I removed the @0:1 as instructed, but VLC still does not appear in the AutoPlay options dropdown.
