I create a lot of CD’s for presentation of photos and use autorun to start
them. This works fine, but occasionally, for some reason the autorun
feature doesn’t work. The way I have been getting around this is to go back
to a previous restore point which corrects the situation.

I have no idea what triggers this but can anyone tell me how to reset
autorun without using the XP restore feature.

The problem with running a restore from a restore point is that other
settings will be reverted as well. This may not always be desirable. You can
try running the Microsoft Autoplay Repair Utility which will only fix the
autorun problem.
