Hi,
For some of my mixed-content CDs which don't have any autorun.inf
files, when i insert to the drive, windows explorer is opened
instantly for twice instead of prompt me as "what to do?". Even i
close windows explorer, after a few seconds it's opened for twice.

When i insert a CD which is even non-mixed or mixed or any type, i
must be prompted for "what to do" instead of automatically running
windows explorer although i haven'T set autorun to do "always the same
action" in every autorun.

Autorun is NOT successful for recognizing disc content and prompting
for "what to do" and unreliable with its registry settings.

Addition to this: Tried on more than one PC with same results, XP
cannot recognize some disc types to prompt "what to do", it directly
opens windows explorer to browse disc content.

To clear, although autorun is fixed, autorun doesn't ask what to do
for some discs when you insert it, it autoruns CD's inside with
windows explorer. Unrecognizing disc type to ask "what to do" is a bug
in XP.
