Window Asking What to Do when Inserting CD or Drive

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

You all know that in XP, when inserting a CD or DVD or even a Jump Drive, a
window pops up and it ask what you want to do now or from now on - either
open folder, play movie, etc. Is there a way to change that option once you
set it for windows to remember? For example, I have it set for CDs to open
in folder view, but I want to change it so that it plays automatically, etc.

Thanks. This was a little hard to describe.

Hi RL331,

Open My Computer, right-click the CD drive-letter and choose Properties. In
the Autoplay tab, set the options accordingly.
