I found that the registry value for the autorun is not
set correctly. I changed it to the correct setting, but
it turns itself back off whenever I restart the computer.
What can I do to make the change permanent?

Copy and paste this into Notepad. Then Save As... autorun.reg (make sure
to do all files instead of .txt) ;)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom]
"AutoRun"=dword:0000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"allocatecdroms"="0"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:00000091

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

Just a note, I found this in my Registry Fixes folder and I think it may
have come from Kelly's Corner or one of the MVP websites. You could
also manually change the settings if you want.
