Well, I was NOT trying to turn autorun off, but trying to figure out why the cd-label and the icon in explorer did not refresh after inserting a cd even when I press refresh or changed CDs. I was beginning to suspect the board's EIDE controllers, or something wrong with one of the two drive installed on the system I am working on - XP pro, Intell momboard, 3gig Pentium. Tried swapping drives between slot 0 and 1, new cables, swapped cables at controller slots on board, tweaked on services.msc. Did searches of the net with no luck. Then I came to this site and searched "autorun" and found this thread. What fixed problem was changing registry Dword Value from a zero (0) to a (1). Systems works good once again!!
