Windows XP suffers from a bug where Auto Insert Notify is mysteriously
disabled. For some users this happens irritatingly frequently.
To fix this see:

In my experience the most frequent cause is that 'Autorun' key in the
following registry location
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
has become set to '0'. Simply set it back to '1' and reboot.
I have actually exported this key to a .reg file so that I can easily
re-enable it every time it happens (about once a month).
Many other registry keys also seem to have a habit of changing themselves,
most notably, the key that causes the power status to appear in the system
tray, and the key that enables hibernation.
