Thanks. Microsoft was 404 so I downloaded TweakUI for Win2K from
HelpWithWindows.com and tried it. The tab Paranoia
ThingsThatHappenBehindYourBack has a box to disable Data CDs, didn't

see flash drives. I checked it but a Ubuntu CD still auto-runs, and I
lost access to the modem.

So I reinstalled the previous hard drive, swapped out yesterday.

Try looking over this web page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoRun

From what I could tell via a quick read, there have been
some bug fixes addressing your issues for Win2K. I'm using
old NT4, so my settings are a bit different.

I suspect some direct editing in the registry will be the
way to go. After all that is all TweakUI does. Hacking
around in the registry isn't all that difficult. Save the
section/item first to a ".reg" file and then you can put it
back like it was later on by merging it. Or you can just
write down some notes, screen shot...

If I lived close by, I would stop in and we would probably
waste several hours time with this & that
