Question about 'Turn Off the CD-ROM Autorun'

I have a question about Turn
Off the CD-ROM Autorun:
When I turn my autorun by changing the registry value of dword "autorun" to zero
in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom ,
autorun completely stops but windows no longer shows the cd-label and the icon in
explorer after inserting a cd even when I press refresh. Can anyone help me in solving
this problem?

Restore your old registry settings and in explorer, right click on a cd rom drive,
then go to properties. Configure auto run from the autoplay tab.

For some reason, that never did anything for me. I did find something that works
for me, and more important, it works for external hard drives. Blessed relief.
This is only for XP pro:

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!!

i sortof got it figured, xp caches cds the only way i found to get the cd to refresh.
in my computer right click on the cd rom, eject, then go into the cd and see if it
has gone.
put in the new one, try not to start the computer with a cd, it tends to get picky
after that
