Windows Media Player starts when inserting CDG disk

[George]

waynec,

Open MY COMPUTER.

Right click on a drive.

Right click on PROPERTIES.

Click AUTO PLAY.

Uncheck the PROMPT ME EACH TIME TO CHOOSE AN OPTION.

You'll need to do that with each drive. If you want that prompt when not using Microstudio, just turn them back on by checking the PROMPT ME....box.

Hope this helps.

I am using Windows 98 and the option "auto play" is not shown there.

Also note, I do NOT want ANY player to automatically launch when inserting a disk.

Thanks.

There is a way to go into 98 and turn off AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION. Perhaps you can seach the forums while I play with my other p.c(98SE) and see if I can remember how.

Got it.

Open Control Panel

System

Device Manager

Open CDROM

Right click on a drive

Settings

Uncheck AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION


Do that for each cd/cdr drive.

It is recommended with 98/98SE that this be off anyway to keep from possible interference when copying cdg's.

Take care,

George
