Open the Device Manager and confirm that the Auto Insert Notification check
box is selected on the Settings tab of the CD-ROM's Properties sheet.

Next, if you have TweakUI installed, open the Paranoia tab and in the section
"Things that happen behind your back" ensure that both "Play audio CDs
automatically" & "Play data CDs automatically" are checked.

The latest version of TweakUI for Win Me (1.33) can be obtained from
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/powertoys/networking/nttweakui.asp

Download to a folder with a short name (e.g. C:\Tweak), run to extract
components, right click on tweakui.inf and then install, close the help
window that comes up to allow install to finish. C:\Tweak can now be
deleted and TweakUI accessed via the Control Panel.

Just a few words of caution though if you are new to using TweakUI on Win Me.
a) Do not change the first icon (My Computer) on the Desktop tab.
Doing this causes a number of script errors in Special Folders when using
either WebView or Active desktop.
b) Do not uncheck "Search Results" on the Desktop tab.
Doing this disables the Search in Explorer.
c) Do not hide the TweakUI icon on the Control Panel tab.
d) Do not uncheck "Show Control Panel on Start Menu" on the IE tab.
Doing this will prevent you from accessing the Control Panel including
TweakUI.
e) Do not uncheck "Shell Enhancements" on the IE tab.
This causes quite a few unexpected "problems".
