Autoplay

When inserting a DVD disk in the DVD drive, instead of one of the players opening, one of the Documents and Settings folders (the one with my name) opens.  I have checked the properties of the drive in My Computer and checked Window's Media Player under the autoplay options but it has no effect when I insert a DVD.  Music CDs work fine and Dell Jukebox opens when the CD is inserted.  I would really like to have the Dell Media Experience open when a DVD is placed in the DVD drive.

    Thank you for the reply, however, it appears that the program "gpedit.msc" is not on my computer.  Neither the run progran or the find program can locate the file.

    I have the same prob except when i pop in a DVD nothing opens it up.  Its funny because when I put in an audio CD a whole list of options pops up.

    I seem to have solved the problem by downloading and installing the two files to upgrade Dell Media Experience.  Dell Media Experience not starts when a DVD disk is loaded.
