>My pc is Win 2000 Pro. And when I look at the properties of the CD there is no setting for AutoPlay.

I don't know where the setting actually is in W2K, probably somewhere in the registry. Look for TweakUI for W2K, there's a couple of checkboxes for that in the Paranoia tab, "Things that happen behind your back" section. That's how I did it... namely the opposite from what you want. I don't want the CD to autolaunch ever, so I keep these checked off. There are actually two autoplays, one for the data CDs, and one for audio CDs.
