When you insert a CD-ROM disk, your CD-ROM drive always runs automatically for the default setting (autorun CD-ROM). We have a tip to disable running your CD-ROM drive whereas you can enable it running again as you want. This tutorial will teach you to enable or disable running CD-ROM drive by editing a registry. Follow these steps. * Click Start > Run . * In the Run dialog, type regedit and press Enter. * In the Registry Editor window, Go to the path like below,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
* Now you can see the AutoRun DWORD in the right panel, double click on it. * Change the Value data to 0 for disabling automatically running CD-ROM, then click OK. If you want it to automatically run again, you must fill 1 value in the Value data. * Close Registry Editor window and reboot your computer. * Test it by inserting your CD-ROM disk. Now your computer does not automatically runs your disk. |
