["Barry Hill" <bbinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can stop a disc running by holding down shift for ten seconds or so just 
after you have put the disc in.  This is not turning the auto-run feature 
off, it just stops that disc autorun.  To turn off auto-run is a little 
complicated for me to explain, but I'll try.

1. Go to desktop with windows key + d.
2. You should land on *my computer*.  Press the space bar to select.  If you 
don't land on my computer, press m until you do.
2. Press enter on *my computer* then arrow down to your CD Rom drive.
3. Hold down alt and press enter to bring up the properties of the CD Rom 
drive.
4. Shift tab once to the *General* tab, then right arrow once to *Auto-play* 
tab.
5. This is where I get a bit vague.  I think you need to press tab twice 
then arrow down to select the action you want.  I have my computer set to 
*Prompt me each time to select an action*.
6. Tab once to *ok and you're done*
7. Press alt and f4 to close *my computer*.
