So, you will be able to test your autorun files and menus, but don't expect it to happen automatically when you insert a floppy into the drive.
To test the autoplay on a floppy, you will need to use Windows Explorer or My Computer. (Note: In tests, I have found My Computer to be the more reliable method.)
With Windows Explorer or My Computer open, insert a floppy disk with an autorun.inf file into the floppy drive. Hit F5 (or 'View' menu->'Refresh') so that Windows will acknowledge the new floppy disk.
Note: You will also need to refresh after any edits and saves of the autorun.inf file even if you have not changed to a new floppy disk.
In Windows Explorer or My Computer, right click on the drive letter for the floppy and select 'Autoplay' from the menu. (Note: My Computer also allows you to simply double click on the drive letter icon to test autoplay.)
To make sure your registry setting change has been done correctly, first test the floppy autoplay method using an autorun.inf file you know works (from a cd or other source) that has been copied to a floppy disk along with any other files required for an accurate launch and display.
From personal experience, I can state that this floppy testing method of autorun.inf files can be a bit buggy. If you are certain an autorun.inf file 'should work' and it doesn't, remove the floppy from the drive, insert a different floppy, refresh, remove that floppy, insert the original floppy with the autorun.inf file and refresh again. This is sometimes necessary after editing an existing autorun.inf file and resaving it to the same floppy. Sometimes just refreshing multiple times clears up the problem as well.
In Conclusion:
I hope you have found this FAQ/Tutorial helpful and that it has given you a full understanding of the process for changing the settings for the autoplay feature of your system.
The binary to hexadecimal information may also assist you in future endeavors in the registry and elsewhere. It was provided to allow you to fully customize the autoplay feature of your system and to enable and disable drive types at will. I thought this to be better than just telling you to set the 'NoDriveTypeAutoRun' to 91 as though it were some magic number of some sort. In other words, I sought to teach and not just tell.
Best of luck with your CD projects;
Carel
