Change default options for CDs "Michael Moser" <michael-nospam.moser[ at ]nospam.freesurf.ch> 12/18/2008 12:54:45 PM I have disabled AutoPlay for CDs (and other devices) for security reasons (and because I normally want to see what is on that CD first before executing anything). However, the default command for CDs is still AutoPlay and very often - when I don't think about it - I double click onto a CD intending to open an explorer window just to notice that I again just started the autorun command. I checked under Tools => Folder Options => File Types. But I only found Audio CDs there (where the default is "Play" which is OK). But how can I change the default for Non-Audio CDs? I didn't find any "file type" that seemed to match... Michael

You're looking in the wrong place. In the start menu open My Computer then after the window has opened, right click on your CD/DVD drive and select properties. In the properties window click on the Auto Play tab, then in the drop-down menu you can select the various cd types and the specify the actions it should do. -- Roy Smith
