Windows XP doesn't recognise change in CD

This is darn annoying Windows XP running on new Dell Dimension 5000.
Boot up with a CD in the drive and the label/icon is shown correctly. Eject
the CD and insert another CD. The label/icon doesn't change although the
contents are correct. It also doesn't appear to autorun correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Rob.

Actually turns out that the autoplay register key had somehow got zeroed.

Cheers, Rob.

Actually I found an autofix for all who are interested.
