I am trying to disable the autoplay feature on a cd-rom drive so that CD's will not start automatically. I am running NT 4.0.

Make sure you make a backup of your registry. Then make the following change:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key:/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/CdRom/
Name: AutoRun
Value: 0

Open your registry and find the key below.

Change to value of 'Autorun', or create a new DWORD value if it doesn't already exist, and set the data to equal '0' for Autorun disabled.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom

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