Cd Autoplay

For some reason, my CD and DVD drives have stopped using the autoplay feature.
Where can I turn this back on on Windows XP?
cheers,

in the registry editor (start>run>regedit), go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom] and change the value of "Autorun" to "1".

My Autorun is set to 1, but is this the problem, it is under "AutoRunAlwaysDisable":

if your drive is listed in there, that would be the problem. i found this on the microsoft website that explains why devices are listed under that key in the registry.
AutoRunAlwaysDisable (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/default.asp?url=/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/en-us/regentry/58493.asp)
