Help
with the new cds coming out that install software without your permission via autoplay, I want to disable it. I know I have seen the option somewhere before but i can't seem to find it now. Anyone know?

Start regedit from Run then
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom]
Value Name: Autorun
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0=disable, 1=enable)
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom]
Value Name: Autorun

OK. I'll try that. I thought there was an option to do it without editing the registry. I might be thinking of 98 though.
Thanks for the reply

Or, with XP you can:
1) Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC
2) Go to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System.
3) Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off and modify it as you desire.

I think that TweakUI for XP has this option too 
Thats probably where I saw it. I don't think I checked there when I was last looking. Anyway, I did it though the registry and am happy now.
