First place to look is in My Computer, r-click the drive and Properties.
On the Autoplay page select Blank CD in the drop down, and then Select
an application to use. You need to be careful with that; if you use the
DLA that probably came with the drive for use with CD-RW, then 'Format
with DLA'; you use that the inbuilt burning (or just RecordNow) set
'Open to view files in Explorer'.
If that has no effect, there is an autoplay fix program, written by some
MS people - available at
