OK... I think we all know how XP will autorun CDs even if they don't have and autorun file right?? (It really doesn't run, just loads explorer if need be)... any way, I made a mistake... I inserted one of my CD-R discs... windows then asked me what to do with them in the future and I said "Run/Open" or whatever everytime. The only problem is now everytime I put a blank CD-R in my drive, windows trys to open it, but since it's blank... I know get an error. I want to change that so that it does nothing.
Can I?????????? In fact, I'd like to start 100% over with the CD autorun options... I think I've made other errors with other types of CDs, mainly due to me not understanding 100% what it was asking at first. Is there a file I can delete or edit so that it's like I just installed XP and it will start asking me all over what to do with CDs?????????????

Dude, What you need to do ids go into my computer and right click on the cd drive--go down to properties, once in properties click the autoplay tab---in the dropdown menu up top choose blank cd and then there will be a choice at the bottom that says something like "prompt to take an action" put a dot in that and then close out--restart the pc and try a blank
