Wichita IT Support Tip for October 24th, 2011<\/h2>\n

So what happens when you put a CD or DVD into the drive on your computer?\u00a0 There are many default actions that can be performed by a feature in Windows 7 (and other operating systems) called AutoPlay.\u00a0 Application discs should start an Autorun program, usually prompting you to install the software, while DVD movies should play automatically.<\/p>\n

What happens if they don’t?\u00a0 It’s annoying if things start when you don’t want them to, or equally annoying when the don’t start when you do.<\/p>\n

How can we tell what’s happening and fix it if it isn’t the way we want it?<\/p>\n

Reviewing AutoPlay Defaults and Options:<\/h2>\n

Step 1<\/strong>: Click the start flag on the bottom left (Windows 7)<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong>: Choose Default Programs<\/strong> from the menu<\/p>\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Make sure to hit the Save<\/strong> button on the bottom if you make any changes.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/strong>: Some applications change these options during their installation.\u00a0 If you find that inserting your flash drive pulls up an image editing program or something similar, you might want to change the setting on Pictures<\/strong> to Take No Action <\/strong>or Open Folder to View Files Using Internet Explorer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
