No Auto Play Window When Inserting Disks

[DaffyD®]

When I insert a music CD or a CD with music mp3 files into my DVD-RAM drive,
the
auto play or autorun window no longer pops up. Instead I get a Windows
Explorer window showing the contents of the CD. I've checked the properties
on the drive and I can see Auto Play window and all file types are set for
"Prompt me each time to choose an aciton." I've also checked the registry
and NoDriveTypeAutoRun is set at "95", all Cdrom entries in
ControlSet/Services is set at "1" so theoretically I should see the Auto Run
window.

Another issue is that my drive is displayed as DVD-RAM until I put a CD in
there, then it changes to CD Drive. But when I remove the CD, the drive
remains displayed as CD Drive instead of reverting back to DVD-RAM, which it
always used to do until recently..

There's a corruption somewhere in the registry but I've looked all over
Microsoft and the internet and I can't find the solution. I hope someone
here can help.

I also noticed that when I go into gpedit.msc and click on Administrative
Templates under User Configuration, there's no System folder where the Turn
off Autoplay policy settings should be. There's only Windows Components and
Windows Media Player. How do I fix this?

Turn Off Autoplay would be under:

Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System
