Control the CD-ROM Autorun Function (Windows 9x and NT)

Normally when you insert a disc into your CD-ROM drive, the contents are automatically launched. This tweak allows you to disable this behaviour.


Open your registry and find the key below.

Change to value of 'Autorun', or create a new DWORD value if it doesn't already exist, and set the data to equal '0' for Autorun disabled.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

For example, the setting may look like:



Autorun 0x00000000 (0)


Registry Settings:
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom]
Value Name: Autorun
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Data: (0=disable, 1=enable)



Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
