Autoplay in XP Pro

[monster1]

How do enable autorun feature in XP Pro..I installed Pro on my brothers comp. He likes it when game fires up automaticly when he inserts the CD.

The only thing I can find related is the multimedia Autoplay which has nothing to do with autorun with software

Click Start
Click Run
Enter GPEDIT.MSC
Group Policy mmc will popup. On left panel:
Double-click Computer Configuration to open submenu
Double-click Administrative Templates to open submenu
Double-click System to open submenu
Double-click Turn autoplay on option which will be near the bottom of the list in the right panel.

I hate this I always have it disabled- by the way it comes with the "autoplay" enabled - someone had to have disabled it.
