How do I stop Audio CD auto-play in W2k?
« on: June 09, 2002, 11:44:50 pm »

Every time I put an audio CD into my W2K machine, it loads MJ and starts to play It :_(

I have checked the options, and according to them CDA and music CDs are not associated with MJ.

I am currently running Mj 8.0.293. I beleve it to be an isue with my registry, not Mj, but I do not know what settings to change, and what to change them to. Ideally, I want to stop all auto-play on audio CDs, and would to prefer all auto-play completely rather than having MJ play the audio cds.

Thanks, Pinner
