AutoPlay lets you choose which program to use for different kinds of digital media, such as music CDs or pictures from your digital camera
When you turn AutoPlay on, you can choose what should happen when you insert different types of digital media into your computer. For example, you can choose which digital media player is used to play CDs. When AutoPlay is turned off, you are prompted to choose what you want to do when you insert digital media into your computer.
Open AutoPlay by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type autoplay, and then click AutoPlay.
Do one of the following:
To turn AutoPlay on, select the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
To turn AutoPlay off, clear the Use AutoPlay for all media and devices check box.
I have tried all of this and nothing seems to work. It appears that there must be some error that prevents the system from recognizing that a CD has been inserted. Occassionally, after I have inserted a CD, when I click in the file explorer, the autoplay will start up. Most of the time, I must double click the CD to start it.
