"Autorun" on CD-ROM drive not working

I guess that the command line says it all, really. For some reason the
"autorun" feature isn't working when I put in a CD. Whether I put in a new
application CD-ROM, or a music CD, or even a memory card into the disk
reader from my digital camera, the autorun isn't working. I don't know what
I did. I'm not normally so clueless, but I am today. Please, if anyone can
remind me of what the solution is, I'll appreciate it a lot. I hate being
ADD sometimes!

Have a blessed day!

Right click the drive in explorer or my computer... click "properties" at
the bottom of the menu... select the "AutoPlay" tab in the box...

The drop down list will give a choice of what file types to act on... while
the bottom box will give a list of actions to perform... The rest is up to
you...

Although I for one think AutoPlay is bloody annoying and I am getting
stressed out cos even though I selected "Take no action" for every file
type, AutoPlay still insists on popping up a explorer window... GRRRRR!

Thanks for this information. Reading the post even though it was not
intended for me. XP-Pro completely updated, New Pentium 4. I have had
problems installing programs in this computer because Autorun does not
recognize my new Plextor PX-504-A CD/DVD drive. I guess After reading the
support document I should just wait for the next service pack rather than
swapping drives out till I find one XP likes....

again. Thanks a lot for this thread.
