Originally when i installed Win2k Pro (clean install), every time i popped an audio cd into either of my cdrom drives, Windows Cd Player would automatically open and begin playing the cd. Recently, this feature has stopped working. The auto-run feature is still enabled, but everytime i load an audio cd, i get the following message:
Desktop:
 
Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied.
 
I am running the machine as an admin, and have only changed sharing permissions on a seperate drive to allow network access.
How can i restore Windows Cd Player to run whenever i place an audio cd into my cd rom drives?

2. Edit SYSOC.INF and delete all of the HIDE words.
3. Save the file.
4. Go into Control Panel, ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, Add/Remove Windows Components, Accessories and Utilities,Multimedia.
