CD-ROM Autorun won't turn back on (WXP)

[dj_mixmaster]

I have a problem. Somehow the Autorun feature for my cd-rom drives in windows xp got turned off. I have a pioneer dvd-rom drive and an hp cd-writer.
So I looked in the registry and looked in
Mycomputer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro lSet\Services\Cdrom.
The autorun feature is set to 1. but there is another entry That says AutoRunAlwaysDisable. The type is REG_MULTI_SZ and the Data part says NEC MBR-7 NEC MBR-7.4 PIONEER CHANGR DRM-1804X PIONEER CD-ROM DRM-6324X PIONEER CD-ROM DRM-624X TORISAN CD-ROM CDR_C36.
I never put that entry in there, is there anyone who could tell how that got in there. The microsoft knowledge base mentioned something about Office XP Pro, which I have, and win2000, but I have winxp. Please help me.

Try the following:

1. At the run command type gpedit.msc
2. Under computer configuration select administrative templates and then system. In the right ane there is a setting called Turn off Autoplay. Ensure that the Not Configured option is selected.
3. Do the same under user configuration.

I did that and both of those options say not configured, what can I do next?

Try changing the setting to disabled and then apply. This may correct whatever is preventing it from autoplaying. You can also enable autoplay and then disable it.
