Okay I told myself if I solved the AUTOPLAY feature I would post a fix for you....Well
I hope this works because you were sooo close!!!
Here's what I did only after trying everything you did...the program XTEQ which you
tried as a last staw can fix your problem...Just open XTEQ and go down to where you
see SHARES CD-ROM/FLOPPY SHARES ACCESS okay now just UNCHECK deactivate CD ROM shares
when logged in also UNCHECK deativate floppy shares when logged in
Man I hope this works for you and if it does pls email me. chevis85@earthlink.net
