I'm not sure why you say that. I do that to stop programs from running when
i slip in a CD-ROM or DVD and the dumb ass company thinks I want all the
extra crap to start loading. works like a charm. Yeah I can turn off auto
play, but then the ones I want to start I have to do it manually. another
words any exes on the ROMS wont run but the movie or audio cd will.
