External HD on USB

D

I have media files stored on an external hard drive.
When I switch it on it runs thru Autoplay and then a box appears saying
'This device contains more than one type of content.What do you want
Windows to do?'
The first choice is highlighted and says 'Play Media Files using Real
Player', the last entry says
'Take No Action'.
I often forget to move the highlight from the first action to the last
so when I clear the box I'm surprised to find Real Player.

How do I move the 'Take No Action' to the top of the list so its
highlighted and so nothing is actioned when I clear the box.

If you just tap Escape, that dialog will disappear.
