You will have a control panel icon for it. One of the things it has a an autorun control tool that you can enable and disable autorun.

Microsoft's tool- didn't work either
-
I have to double check but I think MS disabled autorun in service pack 3. But just in case lets try a few things
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
Double-click Autorun and see whether a zero or a one is displayed in the Value data box.
If the value for Autorun is 0, right-click Autorun, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Double-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun to see its value. If the value is 0xb5, the AutoRun feature for CD-ROMs is turned off. To turn on the AutoRun feature, follow these steps:
Right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun.
Click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 91.
Select Hexadecimal, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.

It will be on the root of the drive, you may need to enable "show hidden files"

Did you try this?
1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options.
3. On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

Does auto run work for anything else like the cd drive?
On my system when I hook a drive up that has multiple partitions, windows only gives the auto run for the first partition.

yes :smiley:

Yes, this is probably true, but before I installed Service Pack 3 on my system auto-play was working on others 2 partitions :smiley:
There is something strange happening with Service Pack 3... :thinking:
-
I remember reading that Microsoft was going to disable auto runs by default because it can be dangerous. But I cant remember what versions of Windows.
I bet the way it is working now is by design and part of SP3. :wink:

Shane
ok :smiley: So what should I do right now?
-
I dont think there is anything to do. SP3 changed the autoplay. If it is working on the other drives then it is working. :wink:
