You can goto the Start button/settings/control
panel/system/cdrom/settings and uncheck Autoinsert notification. This
will work, but I've found that some devious CD manufacturers have found
a way to bypass this, and the darned things auto-start anyway! The only
sure way is to change the Registry - which is tricky. There are
instructions on how to do it at the Win95 Annoyances site, URL:

Happy Computing,
