Ticked off

[j4]

Every time I put an audio CD in my PC's CD drive, I get the following message:



It has taken me several months of annoyance -- firmly selecting the sensible option and ticking the "Always do the selected action" tickybox, and then next time being irritated all over again by the reappearance of the message -- to come to the conclusion that what it means when it says "Windows can perform the same action every time..." is that it can display this dialog box every time, regardless of whether or not I have ticked the tickybox.

This irritates me too - they obviously have the right idea, but they haven't implemented it at all well (similarly, I have a huge external USB disk with all sorts of (legit) media files on it - when I plug it in, Windows tries to search the entire disk to see what sort of action to recommend). The procedure described here (http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsXP/UserTips/Customization/DisableCDautoplayinWindowsXPPro.html) will stop autorun completely, but you need to have admin rights on the PC.
