dear all,

wxp pro sp2,

on another machine that i have, when i double-click my dvd/cd drive, it
opens it up into explorer i.e. like right-click -> open or explore but on
another machine double-clicking behaviour seems to depend on what's inside
the dvd/cd drive. is there a way to:

1. permanently disable auto-run on dvd/cd drive (and btw, on how to reverse
such an action),

2. 'open' dvd/cd drive on double-clicking rather than runs it?

thanks for your advice/help,
jes
 
thank you Dan for your reply. can you tell me:

.. which one of the powetoy i should get for this purpose?

.. i prefer to avoid installing another software if possible, so, is there
keyboards short-cuts to what i wanted to do or if not, is there some kind of
registry change that i can do?

controlled at such a detail level.
