Changing the Way a CD Starts

When you insert a CD, a DVD, a USB media device, or any other removable media device, Windows Vista detects the type of contentmusic, pictures, or a movie, for example. You can set Windows to perform a specific action for each media type and/or device.

Set the AutoPlay

Click the Start button, choose Control Panel from the Start menu, and, in the Hardware And Sound section, click Play CDs Or Other Media Automatically to display the AutoPlay window.

If you want some action to take place when you insert or attach a media type or media device, select this check box. If you want the action only for the media types and devices for which you set the default action, clear the check box.

For a media type or device for which you want to set the default action, choose the action you want to take:

• An action using a program or a Windows feature

• Open Folder to view files using Windows Explorer

• Take No Action for Windows to do nothing

• Ask Me Every Time to display the AutoPlay dialog box showing available actions

Repeat step 3 for other media types or media devices.

Click Save.
