O.P. RE: DVD-RW Drive Start-Auto Playing [Please Help - Not Solved]
I am not bothered about Windows asking me what to do with a disc when I insert it what I am bothered about is Windows reading the "AutoRun.ini" file on my CDs and DVDs at the initalisation of Windows and then launching the programs "AutoRun.ini" told it too.

Second, the registry keys:
You are changing the wrong keys and in the wrong location.


AutoRun
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom

This is not to enable/disable autoplay as you might think, but to enable/disable autorun, which is quite different.


I want to disable auto-run if that's what is causing my Microsoft Office disc to start up when Windows does. I read that you change the "AutoRun" key value to 0 to disable it so I changed the value from 1 to 0 although it did not work.

:P Yes I did.

Sorry if I did not make myself clear the first time.
