Re: Autoplay Does Not Work

Highlight, and then copy, the information between the lines of asterisks.

Go to Start | All Programs | Accessories

Open Notepad

Right click anywhere in the white area and choose "paste".

Save the file using "save as" autoplay.reg (note where you save the file to)

Close notepad

Go to where you saved the file. Double click the file to run it.
