Auto Play not working in XP

I'm running XP Professional and for some reason my "Auto Play" won't
work. Right now it won't work for either of my Dvd drives or any of my
Usb ports. I have to use "My Computer" to access them.

I have double checked to make sure that a "a action for Windows to
perform automatically" has been set up via "properties"/"AutoPlay" for
the said drive. Also have confirmed that the "File Association" has been
set up properly also.

There has got to be another setting somewhere that is over riding this
function!

Here's one possibility for a fix although I haven't used it:

Downloaded and it works great. Only problem is that you can only fix one
drive at a time. Have to log of and back in between fixes. Did that and
they all work!

Thanks for advice and quick response.
