Can a web page talk to Windows API, override Control panel settings, or talk
to IE directly as an object?

I found out that my CD-ROM settings, in the control panel, have the CD ROM
automatically load up whenever a CD is inserted. I have an HTML web page on
a CD that accesses multimedia from other CDs and this setting makes the web
page reset everytime I insert a new CD. Turning this setting off fixes the
problem, but I don't want to have everyone one of my users to have to change
their Control panel settings to ensure this product works.

Is there a way to tell Windows or IE to override the Control panel settings
for the web page loaded?

If not, is there a way to load up a way page as "static", meaning that it
doesn't need to keep reloading itself whenever the CD is re-inserted?

Thanks in advance, =)

P.S. Please include my e-mail address " Fer...@Myself.Com " in all replies
