No Auto Play Window When Inserting Disks

[DaffyD®]

When I insert a music CD or a CD with music mp3 files into my DVD-RAM drive,

the

auto play or autorun window no longer pops up. Instead I get a Windows

Explorer window showing the contents of the CD. I've checked the properties

on the drive and I can see Auto Play window and all file types are set for

"Prompt me each time to choose an aciton." I've also checked the registry

and NoDriveTypeAutoRun is set at "95", all Cdrom entries in

ControlSet/Services is set at "1" so theoretically I should see the Auto Run

window.



Another issue is that my drive is displayed as DVD-RAM until I put a CD in

there, then it changes to CD Drive. But when I remove the CD, the drive

remains displayed as CD Drive instead of reverting back to DVD-RAM, which it

always used to do until recently..



There's a corruption somewhere in the registry but I've looked all over

Microsoft and the internet and I can't find the solution. I hope someone

here can help.

If I knew where I was I'd be there now.

I also noticed that when I go into gpedit.msc and click on Administrative

Templates under User Configuration, there's no System folder where the Turn

off Autoplay policy settings should be. There's only Windows Components and

Windows Media Player. How do I fix this?

Turn Off Autoplay would be under:



Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System
