re: Can you keep Autoplay for apps, but disable autorun.inf file? Tuesday, February 7, 2006 at 9:42 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by AnchorMan (1465 messages posted) You can't that I know of. Autoplay looks for autorun.inf which usually points to an executable or bat file on the CD. Audio CDs are recognized as audio by the burn format. Newer audio cd's are including video and the such, so you either love them or hate them. What you are trying to do is actually an oxymoron. By changing one the other is always affected.
