    Permissions issue with CD's...

    Im not exactly sure where this should go, but for some reason I am unable to run "autorun" CD's... I get a permissions issue. When I check the properties of the autorun.exe file on the cd it shows that only root has applicable perms. How can I fix this?

    thanks

    Ubuntu can't auto-run CDs with Windows software using Wine. It's a security risk for your computer anyway.

    I knew I should have elaborated. Yes I know Autorun in itself is usually a Windows installer. I didnt want to get into the whole "This is a wine/cedega/Crossover issue"..

    Im just wanting to fix this permissions issue as Im sure that the system will still prompt you before it runs anything, which is fine by me.
