Hey guys,


Now i have had this prob for some months now and i have been making due with it but i cant be bothered now!

Say when i was installing BF1942 4 days ago. The cd would not auto run i had to go into the cd and explore it then run the auto run.

Its the same with other games and movies and stuff.

Good idea flame im off to bed l

RossI have this same problem, but was so embarrassed I had to wait for someone else to post before I spoke up.  

So how do you do it in XP ?TY Annoyances.org

Windows XP - SOLUTION 1
Right-click on the drive icon for your CD drive, CD recorder, or DVD drive, and select Properties.
Choose the AutoPlay tab, and choose the desired action for each type of CD. For example, choose Music CD, then click Select an action to perform, then select Take no action.

Windows XP - Solution 2
Obtain and install TweakUI (part of the PowerToys for Windows XP package), and then start TweakUI.
Expand the My Computer branch, then the AutoPlay branch, and then select Drives.
Turn off the checkbox NEXT to each drive letter for which you want AutoPlay disabled.
Windows 2000/XP
Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE).
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom.
Double-click the Autorun value, and type 0 for its value. (If it's not there, create it by selecting EDIT -> New -> DWORD Value, and typing "Autorun" for its name.)
You MAY have to log out and then log back in for this change to take effect.

Note: With this solution, Windows will no longer be notified when you insert a new CD. To make sure the correct icon and title for the CURRENT CD are displayed in My Computer and Explorer, press F5 to refresh the window. ;DHopester you wussy
