Hi,

I currently have autoplay completely turned off
(registry `hack'). However this is not ideal, Windows
seems to get confused when changing CDs. One can get
around this and it is better than having autoplay run a
program as soon as you put a Software auto-install CD in.

Assuming I switch auto-play back on is there a way to
either:
1) Always prompt before running a program started via
autoplay?
2) Even better, add an entry to the autoplay
properties tab so one can select `.exe/autoplay' or
`Software CD' as something that one can specify the
autoplay action for (`Mixed Content' doesn't seem to do
the trick).

MTIA

Tony.
 
Tony;
Try this: Double click My Computer/right click your CD
drive/Properties/AutoPlay tab/click: Prompt me each time to choose an
action/Apply/OK. Works for me. I don't like the darn CD starting until I
tell it to. Although I have to double-click My Computer and double-click
the drive to start the CD.
Hope this helps. Let us know.
Wes
