I guess I still fail to see how TweakUI can cause Data cds to run automatically without
an Autorun.exe pointed to by an AutoRun.inf file in the root of the CD. The reason
I say this is because I have TweakUI enabled for both under the Paranoia tab, and
I never could get Data cds to open automatically (I have the Auto insert notification
enabled also) until I discovered how to place an Autorun.exe with an Autorun.inf
file in them. The way I read the post was, after TweakUI was downloaded and set to
autorun data cds, they would automatically run. That just don't happen for me on
my computer.Now, I could see that enabling and disabling them in TweakUI
can turn the Auto insert notification on and off, but as I said, I still can't see
how it will make Data cds run. Am I really that far offbase? After studying your
response a little more, I tend to think that we are on the same page with this. The
TweakUI part only enables and disables the Auto insert notification, just separately
for audio and data cds. If scooby got it to work by installing TweakUI, I take it
that either his Auto insert notification was turned off or unavailable to start with.
Am I right? Thanks for responding. Link
