cd-rw

[Metaliczombi]

When ever I put in a cd-rw in to my drive an explorer window pops up displaying the contents of the cd. Under autorun options for this drive I chose "take no action" Is there a way to stop this. I don't need to see what's on, I know already. I am running XP home and Easy Cd creator 5 Platinum, latest version, to format the disks.

Ok, right click on your CD drive,go to properties and choose the autoplay tab. Use the drop down box and scroll to the bottom and choose Music CD, then choose what you would like done with it or have it promt you every time.

If you hold down the shift key while the cd is spinning up for the first time it will not auto run

both options do not prevent the explorer window from appearing with a CD-RW. Every option under autoplay is set to take no action but the window appears.

Metaliczombi, You're in luck about 4 days ago I "Changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom from “1” to “0” to eliminate CD autoplay."
It worked for me with home/SP1

I changed that yesterday before I posted but I guess I forgot to restart b/c today when I started up again problem solved. Thanks again.
