Disabling AutoRuns --- Thank you, thank you, thank you, (how many times can I thank you for this?) More times than you want to read. When I bought this (my first Windows XP machine, I put a CD in the drive and the computer asked me what I wanted to do, and I thought, I could do without that prompt. When I looked in the HP (Hewlett Packard) help and support program I found a link that disabled autorun and autoplay. When I had a major crash a month ago and had to use system restore I lost the ability to disabled autorun and autoplay. I found it to be very irritating to put a check mark next to Take No Action every time I put a disk in the drive, or if it was a music or movie disk a program would start automatically. Thanks again for this fix. :-D
