My autorun feature stopped working so when I inserted a CD rom in the drive the CD never opened up. I was able to trace and confirm that this was caused by the Shell Hardware Detection Process that is started by windows when it boots. When I stopped this process viola autorun works. Obviously there is eithe a file or registry entry that is corrupt. Anyone know how I can correct this so autorun will function with this process operating? The LAST thing I want to do is do a reformat and reinstall.

I do not think it is your problem but Roxio can cause autostart problems.

Any suggestions. I uninstalled and reinstalled Roxio and still have problem. It can't be the driver since the auto run feature works with Shell Hardware Detection process turned off.

Found the solution. Go to

artzelda,
Thanks for the tip. I'll file this utility away in case I ever need it for my WinXP.
