Autoplay Autorun query

My operating system is:

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600.

I have an LG DVD player and a LG DVD Multi Recorder writer.

How can I get Autorun and/or Autplay to run on insertion of Disk?

I have tried Properties > Autoplay etc but the configuration I select will not save.

Presumably, there is a way of ‘forcing’ to Autorun/Aotoplay?
