I need that dialog appearing in Windows 2000. I think it appeared on XP and it appears on 7, 10 etc...
I wanna explore the pendrive when is inserted without making necessary to open "my computer" and selecting the pendrive.
Is it possible?
There's no AutoPlay (the menu, in variants depending on the detected photo/music/video contents, which individual programs can register for) before XP, but if all you want is to

maybe you could (didn't try) do it with AutoRun?
Save this in the root as autorun.inf:
[autorun]shellexecute=.

in the root of what? in every camera / pendrive / etc... that is connected?
well, maybe it can work if my father uses always the same camera, but I whould prefeer if windows 2000 can be updated/patched/improved in some way to offer a menu when a camera is inserted by usb
maybe someone can help
I think Ryccardo means as you're asking, but I think you only have to write the file once per device you're using. I myself prefer the menu, but I'm okay with Win11's just opening the device in Explorer.
