How to stop CD-ROM auto insert notification under Win2000?

I belive the title explains it.

In win9x windows architecture it was easy, but I can't find an option to turn of CD-ROM auto insert notification in Win2000.

Did u mean "turn of CD-ROM" or "turn-off" ?
In the subject you have said "stop auto insert " and in the main question it is " turn on auto insert" ?

Am i missing something here ?
You can also hold down SHIFT to bypass the automatic feature on a case-by-case basis...

Thanks for quick responses.

I ment: I don't want any CD to run automaticaly when inserted!


P.S. I'm just going through your comments. I'll get back when I'm finished.

Yet another possibility: with TweakUI, you can differentiate between data CDs and music CDs (in the "Paranoia" tab) and whether you want the autostart or not; this needs the "Auto insert notification enabled", though. For the installation, unpack the file, right-click the .inf file and choose "install".

Your sollution didn't work. Maybe I shoud have restarted the system for changes to take effect.
I have changed that key, but nothing happened. CD's just kept auto starting when inserted.
