Older OS's would autoplay a CD that has music or software to install

XP goes a step further and display or find another way to present the data. This can be rather annoying everytime you want to insert a CD.

• Double-Left-Click on My Computer
   
• Right-Click on your CD-ROM icon and click Properties
   
• Click AutoPlay to bring up the options for this selection
   
• Select the content-type from the drop-down list
   
• Click the radio button for Select An Action To Perform and choose your desired action.
   

NOTE: By selecting Take No Action with a data CD, the CD will no longer open when you are installing new software.
