I case you are not familiar with getting into the BIOS and all of that, you
can enter the BIOS usually at the beginning of the startup procedure for your
computer. It will sometimes say "Press 'X' to enter setup" where X is the
key you need to press, it is F2 or Delete alot of the time. The autoplay
feature can usually be enabled or disabled by going into the properties for
that particular drive. To get there, just go to "My Computer" and right
click on the correct drive icon. You can set it to autoplay for different
file types and what programs they open up with. Hope that helps a little.
