How do I turn off Auto Insert Notification for cd's

[Malcom Long]

I don't want my cd's to load when i insert them
this was an easy option on previous versions of windows
but not this one.
I am using Windows XP Home SP1 on a intel pentium 2.4ghz

Adjust CD-ROM AutoPlay
Right-click the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer (or My Computer), and
select Properties.
Select the AutoPlay tab.
Now you can select your AutoPlay preferences according to the type of
content.

My Computer, right click the CD drive, Properties, Autoplay tab, .......

Actually, you choose the action to take.
XP doesn't check what files are on the CD.

Hi Malcolm,

Disable CD AutoPlay for Home or Pro (Line 3)

Use TweakUI - one of the XP Powertoys from (if you have installed XP
SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

If you have not installed SP!, the earlier version can be found at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe

Once installed you will find it in Start - All Programs - Powertoys for
Windows XP

Its My Computer - Autoplay - Drives page, uncheck the drive letter.

You should *not* do this on a CD burner, or there may be difficulty in
detecting blank disks, and in that case of using the inbuilt burning, in
detecting a 'part used' disk for adding further sessions
