I have the Autorun service starting in Windows 2000, but CDs still do not automatic launch. Is there a registry setting to make autorun work when a CD is inserted?

Thanks, Heckfire

Hi

According to Microsoft you should:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
3. To disable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 0 (zero). To enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1.
4. Restart your computer.
NOTE: This method disables automatically running CD-ROMs. If you want to disable automatically running CD-ROMs depending on the CD-ROM that you insert in the CD-ROM drive, you can press and hold down one of the SHIFT key while you insert the CD-ROM.

What type of cd's are you trying to launch automatically? Software installation, music, movie etc. It can depend on different things.

Cheers.

Thank you for the inquiry, but another question already supplied the answer.
