CD/DVD Auto Run feature
I did a search but didn't find what I need. My friends' computer has stopped automatically playing a music CD or DVD movies. You know, you put one in, close it and it immediatly starts to play.
I have tried to find how to turn it back on but have come up empty handed. She is using XP. I searched the help menue in Windows and on Windows website. Either I am looking for the wrong thing or am just to dense to find it. .
I am sure the gurus here can give me a simple fix.
Thanks in advance!

Doubleclick on "Autorun" on the right-hand side and change its value from 1 to 0.
After you reboot your machine will no longer automatically play any disk.
You should still be able to right-click on the CD drive in My Computer and have it autoplay a disk on demand.
