I finally figured out how to make my CD autoplay in Windows Media Player! Start>All Programs>Set Program Access and Defaults>Custom>Expand.. and third choice down is Windows Media Player. Place the "dot" in Windows Media Player and close the window. Now, pop in a CD in your drive and Windows Media Player should autoplay the CD or the window which gives you choices should appear. Select Windows Media Player and check the box below which says "Always do the Selected Action" and close this window. Now, when I insert a music CD, Windows Media Player starts up and plays it without any action on my part, just as it did before! Of course I initially made the Registry changes which were suggested here in this thread in another posting. These changes gave me the autoplay selections window but Winbdows Media Player was NOT on the list. The above change placed Windows Media Player ON the list so that I was able to select it. All is well in computer land now!
