Permanantly disableing autoplay

[Conan Kelly]

I recieved this tip for permanently disabling autoplay in Win 95:

Right-click My Computer and select Properties to open the System Properties
dialog box. On the Device Manager tab, click the plus sign next to CDROM and
select your CD-ROM drive. Click the Properties button, select the Settings
tab, and deselect Auto Insert Notification. Click OK, then click Close and
restart Windows 98. The next time you insert a CD in that drive--nothing.



But Win 2000 doesn't work quite the same way. I don't recall if there is a
"Settings" tab, but there is no "Auto Insert Notification" on any of the
tabs.



Can anyone tell me how to do this?



Thank you for any help anyone can offer,



Conan Kelly

You can fix this with a registry hack: Run regedit.exe, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom,
then set the value of "Autorun" to 0.
