auto insert notification

Hi folks,

Can't seem to find this option in XP...can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance

Steven.

steved, If referring to the autoplay of cd's try this:
1. Go to Start->Run->gpedit.msc
2. Computer Config -> Administrative Template -> System
3. Double click Turn off Autoplay
4. Enable it.

Hi Cornerpocket,

I tried that and it couldn't find gpedit or gpedit.msc. It's the home edition of XP, if it makes a difference...

Cheers

It's all in tweakui, in Powertoys for XP
free download from Microsoft

Chris.

Thanks Chris, but I'm looking for a setting that's already there in XP (without having to download)...I've searched everywhere but can't seem to find it. Customers seem to be having issues with CD's not loading and XP...all I have at the moment is a registry key that can be modified but more often than not it doesn't correct problem...

Can anyone help??

Hi Steved

Heres the registry key that works 100% of the times that I have used it

Settings:
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom]
Name: Autorun
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: (0=disable, 1=enable)

If this does'nt work then as Chris said download powertoys from MS as as far as I know with XP Home they are the only two ways that you can alter the autorun feature...

Hi smiffy,

Yeah thats the key I normally use. The reason I don't want download tools is its for customers machines (some don't have internet)..
Thanks anyways....

Hi again Steved

I don't know if you have tried the updates for XP and CD related problems.As you probably know there is a patch at MS for it and if your customers who do not have access maybe you could put the file on a floppy or burn it to a CD and used on your travels to see if it can resolv the issues...
