Hello. Is there a way to get my cd drives to play a cd when I put it in? I remember this feature used to be on, but for some reason it has stopped...is there some way for me to change this? Also, I recall that if I typed something in the RUN feature, then a menu or something would pop up that enabled me to set settings for start menu, startup, etc...does anyone know this command?

With WinXP, you can turn Autoplay on/off using TweakUI from the free XP Powertoys set. Go here:

(please remove any spaces)

Download TweakUI, install it, run it, and with it open, go to My Computer -> Autoplay -> Drives. Here is where you can set which drives support Autoplay or not.

Just click OK when done to save the changes.

hope this helps
