No, I think you misunderstood me. Don't right click and select Properties.
That has to do with how you want non-autorun CDs to run based on their
content. For example, music CD's can run automatically, even though they
don't contain an autorun.inf file. Your CD is a "data" CD and that menu
won't help you.
For your CD, just open Windows Explorer, locate the CD and right click on
it. In the pop up menu you should see the word "Autoplay" listed.
Selecting it will cause your CD to autorun. Normally Windows XP should see
the autorun.inf file and autorun your CD when it is inserted. However, if
the Registry has been modified, Windows will ignore the autorun.inf file.
To check your system and fix it so that it will run the CD automatically,
for Windows XP you need to check the Registry. Go to Start > Run and type
regedit and click OK. Then locate the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom
To the right you should see a list. Locate "Autorun" in the list. In the
Data column if you see 0x00000001 (1) it means that your CD drives are set
to autorun. If you see 0x00000000 (0) instead, you need to right click on
the word Autorun and select "Modify" and change the value to 1.
Let us know if that works.
