I saw a friends newly installed Vista machine yesterday.

He has the problem that when opening any CD it fails to auto-run.

Instead it produces a dialog box saying "D:\ Application not found".

|t is the same for any CD.

A quick Google turned up one user on a Forum somewhere with the same
problem, but no solution.

It is not the easiest thing to Google for specifically
 
Hi Dave,

Did you check to see what the autoplay settings were set for? Sounds like
it's looking for some application that was originally run from a disk.

If you browse to the setup file on the CD and double click, does it run or
produce the same error? The latter may indicate an issue with the .exe file
association, while the former would indicate a problem with autoplay
function.

Click to expand...

Thanks, I will look at both. I think that the former is more likely, it
hadn't occurred to me that Autoplay would do something other than obey
the autorun.inf .

Its simplest trick that helps to get rid of such problem as well as
initialize drive’s (including hard drives and DVD drives) context menu to
default.

1. Run regedit (Registry Editor)
2. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerMountPoints2
3. Remove or delete MountPoint2 key completely and close Registry Editor.
4. Logoff or restart your PC to take effect.
Now check n double click on your DVD drives. Happy Windows computing.
