    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

    Steven

    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)..

    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...
