How to enable CD-ROM "auto refresh"

[Jacky Luk]

Hi,
When I change CD, Windows XP won't refresh on my Media player and the dialog
of showing me what to do next doesn't come up. How to set it back to how it
used to be?
....auto-refreshing
Thanks
Jack

Switch on AutoRun:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]

"AutoRun"=dword:00000001

-------------------------------------

Turn off CD Auto Play

- Open My Computer

- Right click on your CD ROM and choose Properties

- Click on the Auto Play tab

- In the drop down box you can choose the Action for each choice shown in
the drop down box

Or

1. Go to Start>Run>gpedit.msc

2. Computer Config> Administrative Template> System

3. Double click Turn off Autoplay

4. Enable it.

-------------- it's a little more complicated. best solution is to use
clonecd settings to switch off autorun. otherwise use these reg files:

1) Don't Play Data CD:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:b1,00,00,00

-----------

2) Don't Play Audio CD:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell]

@=""

----------

3)Play Audiocd:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AudioCD\shell]

@="play"

-------------

4) Play datacd:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=hex:91,00,00,00

------

ALSO CHECK THIS KEY:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

NoDriveTypeAutoRun = 0x00000095 (95 would be default)

------------

5) switch off autoinsert notification (not recommended - new cds won't be
recognised until next reboot or until re-activation of the drives in the
windows device manager):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]

"AutoRun"=dword:00000000
