CDs no longer auto-start.

Solved

Hello, I'm on XP Home Edition, with a fairly recent computer, and recently, for some reason, when I insert a CD into any drive or a memory card (camera), the automatic window asking if I want to open or read the document no longer appears.
Not knowing how to proceed, I'm turning to a friendly expert who can provide me with a solution.
Thank you in advance, Jean Luc

    Hello aria99,
    If your problem is indeed about enabling, the method is as follows:
    To enable or disable AutoRun,
    .... Under Windows XP
    Start...Run...type Regedit
    Once the registry is open, go to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
    then on your right, right-click on Autorun
    edit.. the Edit Dword Value dialog will open
    In the value data field, type
    1 to enable autorun (that is, to start automatically)
    0 to disable it (your CD will not start upon insertion)

    Best regards  and @+ 
    Who goes slowly goes safely..who goes safely goes farther and higher

      Thank you for your very clear explanation, which is the only one that is effective. You're the best! I just had to restart, and it's thunderous.
      Thanks to you.
