XP(MCE). I can't seem to locate the toggle switch. It is enabled and
I've been told it should be disabled for security reasons.

Thanks

Hi,

1. Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows + "e" key.

2. Right-click the desired CD-ROM and select Properties from the menu.

3. Select the AutoPlay tab.

4. Select each item from the pulldown list and for the Action to perform,
select "Take no action" to disable autorun, or pick the apporpriate action
to take if enabling autorun.

5. Select OK.

The easiest way to adjust the settings is to install TweakUI:

When you run the program you can find the settings under My Computer>Auto Play
