Re: {ERG} ~ A Tip A Day ~

Repair AutoPlay
If AutoPlay isn’t working like it should, it might have been turned off accidentally. You can fix it by editing the Windows Registry, like this:
1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.
2. Click Run.
3. A window opens. Type regedit in the blank, and then click the OK button or press the Enter key.
4. The Windows Registry Editor will open. In the left window pane, double-click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key. If you can’t find it, do the following:
a. In the left window pane of the Registry Editor, scroll to the top.
b. If any of the HKEY registry keys are open — as indicated by a minus sign (-) on their left side — then close them by clicking that minus sign. When a registry key has been properly closed, it will have a plus sign (+) next to it.
c. Repeat this process for the remaining HKEY registry keys until the only things visible in the left window pane are the five HKEY keys (see Figure).

d. Double-click the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key.
5. A new column of registry keys appears. Double-click System.
6. Another column of registry keys appears. Double-click CurrentControlSet.
7. Double-click the Services registry key.
8. A long list of registry keys will appear. Scroll down and click Cdrom (see Figure)

9. In the right window pane, look for a registry value labeled AutoRun. If it is there, then proceed to Step 10. If you do not have this registry value, then you need to create it, like this:
a. Click the Edit drop-down menu located at the top of the Windows Registry Editor.
b. Select New.
c. Select DWORD Value.
d. In the right window pane, a new registry value will appear.
Rename it AutoRun (make sure it looks exactly like Figure).

10. Double-click the AutoRun value.
11. A window opens. Under the Value Data heading, delete any number you see and type 1 in its place.
12. Click the OK button.
13. Exit the Registry Editor by clicking the X button in the upper-right corner.
