Rep Power: 3 | Once again helpful tip.
Is there any way to disable the Windows autioplay?? Not the cd autorun, but the windows pop up window which comes as soon as you insert the cd. | |

Rep Power: 0 | I just can't get over my fear of messing with the regedit. I'm afraid of messing something up that I can't take back.
Ah, confessions of a cluts.

Rep Power: 0 | Yes, autorun is certainly annoying. Thankfully I have disabled it on all of my computers so CD's aren't being played right away on insertion. | |
