   "Open With" window does not appear

   Can someone please help me.  When I insert an audio CD or CD-R or DVD-R with   
   video files, audio files or whatever, Windows never asks me what program I   
   want to use.  Windows just always opens Windows Explorer to display the   
   contents of the inserted disc.  Game CD's do auto start though.  When I   
   bring up the Properties for my DVD-RW or DVD Drive and then click on the   
   "AutoPlay" tab.  Windows does not allow me to assign programs to certain   
   file types so that CD's will auto run because the "Actions" list is   
   completely empty!  Has anyone had this problem or heard of this problem   
   before?  I think something got messed up in my Windows Registry.  I use   
   TuneUp Utilities 2006 Registry Cleaner.  Can anyone guide me on the right   
   path to solving this problem?  Thank you.
