Aha that old one , when I used XP I disabled auto play in the registry to many of these schemes install some ware that make trouble for you so that is a given , good of you to bring it up, I have forgot all about auto play :-/ That was one my pet peves with windows when I used it, why should things start to happen just because I insert a disc totally stupid ? If you been unlucky enough to install it can cactus be removed or is it like the Sony's rootkit ? ( which I never got as disabled ) I use rubyripper on Linux nowadays . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95102 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
