How do you stop: "Autorun"

[Donald Campbell]

Just setting up a new machine for the kids.

They have numerous games that require a CD in the drive for the games to
run.

The issue is that I when the CD is put into the drive, it autoruns and
asks if you want to install, etc. Not what you want the kids to do.

Win98x allowed you to disable CD detection and effectively prevent this
problem.

I have "right clicked" CD in "my computer" and set all the Autorun
categories to "no-action", however, this has no effect on these games.


Any ideas?

Install the latest version of "Tweak" There is an option in Tweak under My
Computer>Autoplay >Drives and you can enable/disable it depending on the
drive.
