Originally when i installed Win2k Pro (clean install), every time i popped an audio cd into either of my cdrom drives, Windows Cd Player would automatically open and begin playing the cd. Recently, this feature has stopped working. The auto-run feature is still enabled, but everytime i load an audio cd, i get the following message:
Desktop:

Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied.

I am running the machine as an admin, and have only changed sharing permissions on a seperate drive to allow network access.
How can i restore Windows Cd Player to run whenever i place an audio cd into my cd rom drives?

1. Go to your \WINNT\INF directory.
2. Edit SYSOC.INF and delete all of the HIDE words.
3. Save the file.
4. Go into Control Panel, ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, Add/Remove Windows Components, Accessories and Utilities,Multimedia.
5. You should see CDplayer. Deselect it a and press OK,OK...until your out of all of the boxes.
6. Restart system
7. Go back into ADD/Remove and add CDplayer back.
