re: Question about 'Turn Off the CD-ROM Autorun' Sunday, January 11, 2004 at 1:03 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by xpadvisor (847 messages posted) I assume that this external CD-Rom is plugged in and unplugged as needed. As it is seen as a new device every time you hook it up, I would siply hold the shift key down when putting a CD in. That should stop the 'Autorun" feature.
