Hwo to Enabling or disabling Windows AutoPlay.

Periodically, I have needed to change the settings for Windows CD Autoplay…

Feel free to offer a more streamlined suggestion, or anything else in the comments…

  • Windows XP
    • Open My Computer or Explorer
    • Highlight the CD-ROM drive, right-click the CD-ROM drive and click properties.
    • Click the AutoPlay tab. Within this section you will be able to specify all Windows AutoPlay features.
  • Windows 98, ME, and 2000
    • Click Start, Programs, Windows Explorer
    • Within Explorer click View and then Folder Options.
    • Click the File Types tab and locate ” CD Audio Track” category within the list of available file types.
    • Highlight ” CD Audio Track” and click Edit or Advanced.
    • In the Actions category change the default from Play to Open or none.
  • Windows 95
    • Open My Computer click View, Options, File Types
