    Probably a really simple fix, but I am unable to reset the "automatically perform this task" box that used to pop up when a blank disc was inserted. Somehow it was set to automatically open RecordNow to create an audio cd.

    Thank you in advance for your replies.

    Under 'Set Program Access and Defaults' I am given options for browser, e-mail, media player, IM, and VM for Java. I don't see any options for setting the default operation when a blank disc is inserted.

    Here is the actual dialog of the box i am referring to:

    Windows can perform the same action each time you insert a disk or connect a device this type of file:
    Blank CD
    What do you want windows to do?

    You need to set the "autorun" (sometimes called autoplay) option for the drive letter. You'll find all that plus many more XP interface tweaks in tweakui tool. You'll find tweakui here. (It will install itself into C:\Windows\system32).

    Issue resolved - Thanks

    I really appreciate your replies on the issue.
    I found the 'autoplay' options by right-clicking the drive and selecting properties. (Had a feeling it would be pretty simple fix)
    Thanks for the link to tweakui. I played around with it some in votech, so I'll definitely check it out.
