CD autorun
How do I set up my notebook to automatically open a cd when I insert it into
the cd drive? Presently, when I insert a cd nothing happens and I have to go to the directory or StartRun to open a cd. What the heck am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for all help. Fran |

Rich, I should have been more clear. I am speaking of software installation
cd's or my data back up cd's...not necessarily music or video. For example when I insert a cd for an HP Printer installation, it does not open. Thanks again for your help.
