Obsolete devices in Autoplay list & multiple entries for same devices
I would like to remove 4 entries for "Canon PowerShot A75" from the Autoplay settings list since I no longer have this camera. Can anyone tell me how to remove these? (I have Vista Home Premium SP2)
Does anyone else have multiple entries in the Autoplay list for the same device? Has anyone been successful at removing them?

Always backup the registry before making changes. See this article on how to backup and restore the registry:

It is possible to manually edit the system registry to remove the AutoPlay handlers. The AutoPlay handlers are stored at the following registry location:
Above registry key stores various event names, which contains associated handlers. Which mean all entries added as the value for the event will be shown as an option when the particular event happens and trigger the AutoPlay menu dialog.
