Just noticed over time that my "Windows Media Player"
running under WIN XP Pro has stopped automatically playing
when I insert a music CD. I have went into the property
settings on the CD/DVD/RW combo drive on my Dell laptop
and set the settings for "music CD" to automatically
launch "Windows Media Player" when inserted, but I still
fail to get to automatically play. I also have made
certain that all available updates have been downloaded
and installed through "MS Windows Update" site.

Also, download TweakUI from below website, it is a very
small but extremely effective WinXP Power Toy:
