How to Add ImgBurn to AutoPlay

As you have probably noticed, ImgBurn is not in the list of available "AutoPlay" actions when you insert a disk. Even when you try to manually configure "AutoPlay," you will notice the absence of ImgBurn, with no way to include it. This is because Windows 7 does not recognize ImgBurn as a viable AutoPlay program. However, a simple solution can resolve this dilemma. By running the program even one time as an administrator, you force Windows 7 to recognize the program and add it to the list of AutoPlay actions, which includes ImgBurn's burning and image-building features.
