Finding out what changed autorun setting

[Guest]

Autorun has not worked on my new computer since day one. You can put in any
CD and nothing happens. No window asking what I want to do, no autorun,
nothing. I have been reading all of the autorun/autoplay posts and picked up
the autofix utility as a result from the microsoft site. It confirmed that I
have a user setting problem on both my drives that I have the problem on. I
repaired it using the utility and logged out/in and the problem returns.
Something is resetting the registry values. I don't have real player so that
is not the problem. So how do I find out what program is resetting the value
so autorun/autoplay is not working?

Nero? I think that turns autorun off when installed, or the user is supposed to
turn it off before installing Nero.

Nero hasn't done this for a long time
(several years).

It just disables it on the fly when you're actually
running the program to avoid buffer underruns.

Audit it. See Help. It is a two step process, Enable Auditing, then choose what to audit.

I looked up auditing. Appears that can only be done with XP Professional -
the computer in question is runing XP Home. Is there a way to audit on the
home edition?
