Autorun CD drive

[Guest]

I guess my mind is failing in my old age but for some reason my CD and DVD
drives no longer autorun. I do not remember nor can I find in the help
section how to enable autorun. I have been into the control panel/systems
with no luck. I have accesed each drive in "My Computer"/properties and see
no place in any of the tabs that allow me to enabe or disable Autorun.
Running WinXP home original version. Any help appreciated.

My Computer > right click the drive > Properties > AutoPlay tab.

And/or install TweakUI:

TweakUI > My Computer > AutoPlay > "Drives" and "Types".

If this doesn't help, run the "AutoPlay Repair Wizard":
