    When I Insert a DVD movie into the disc drive it plays the movie straight away. I know there is a setting to change this but I can't remember how to do it. Where do I go to to make it not do this?

    Cheers and thanks in advance!

    Easy way: Hold down the shift key when inserting the DVD.
    Harder way, turn off autorun completely.
    1.Start/Run type in regedit
    2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>CdromDouble 3. Click "Autorun" the value is set to 1 by default, change it to zero
    4. Click ok and reboot
