Autorun sorta not working

[Shrum]

I have a comp lab filled with WinXP Home edition PCs.

I am finding that when I place CDs with autorun.inf files on them that the drive icon in Explorer reflects the icon value in the autorun.inf but it is not running the open command in the inf.

I've checked:

hkcu\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\Policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutoRun=91

...and...

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\cdrom\autorun=1

One thing to note...I been reading about issues with autorun on PCs that had Roxio EasyCD Creator on them.

As these comp lab PCs do not have burners in them, I uninstalled Roxio from the PCs but stil cannot get autoruns to properly 'run'.

Any ideas on what to do?

TIA

I would suggest you use TweakUI to reset the Autoplay, if you wish it too....
