Hey guys, long time no see... [img]smile.gif[/img]
I just got a new computer, ridiculously powerfull... well compared to what I had before anyway... An I finally am running Windows XP (Figures since Vista will be out this year). So far I like it except for one thing... CD autoplay is there any way in Gates green earth to turn it of completely, not just for certain files, I have looked in all places I can think of but all I can find is a way to select actions for certain filetypes... I use a lot of recorded cds and having the damn thing asking me what to do everytime I put ithem in is... daunting to say the least... By the way playing Call for Duty 2 in 1600*1400 resolution totally rocks... [img]smile.gif[/img] |
Bring up the drive properties. Go into the 'autoplay' tab. Select each type in turn and select 'take no action'.
|
<font color=skyblue>I wanted to see about that as well, and so tried to access drive properties this way:
System/Hardware/Device Manager Then I Right-clicked on the DVD Drive Chose Properties in the menu, and looked everywhere for that autoplay/take no action section I did not see it. What Drive Properties are you referring to?</font> |
Windows Explorer, Right-click on D: drive (or whatever drive it is). Select Properties. Go to Autoplay tab.

So there is actually no way of turning it of... globally... grmbl... |
You can with a registry edit, but it won't update explorer when you enter a new CD in the drive. You'll have to refresh the explorer window manually to get it to display the correct icon/cd title.
Run regedit and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdrom . Change the Autorun value to 0 (zero). If there isn't one there, create a new DWORD and name it "Autorun" with a value of 0 (zero) |
