Disabling CD Auto Start

Many Windows CDs work with the Windows Autorun feature, which automatically runs a setup program on the CD as soon as you put the CD into the drive. If you don't want that, just hold down the Shift key when you put the CD in. Or follow these steps:

1. Click Start + Settings.
2. Choose Control Panel.
3. In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
4. In the System dialog box, click Device Manager.
5. Double-click the CD-ROM icon and then click on the CD-ROM drive that's autorunning.
6. Click Properties; then click Settings.
7. Deselect the Auto Insert Notification option.
8. Click OK repeatedly to close these windows.

Now Autorun doesn't run on that particular CD-ROM drive.
