CDE Removable Media Auto Run Capability Removed From the Solaris 9 9/02 Operating Environment (4483353)

The Removable Media auto run capability in the CDE desktop environment has been temporarily removed from the Solaris 9 9/02 operating environment. This capability has been removed to mitigate potential security issues.

To use the auto run function for a CD-ROM or another removable media volume, you must do one of the following:

Run the volstart program from the top level of the removable media file system.
Follow the instructions that are included with the CD for access from outside of CDE.
