Windows often asks what you want done with a CD you've just inserted.
How can you set this without the OS asking? When I insert an audio CD,
I want WMP to start playing it. Instead, the OS just opens an Explorer
window on it and don't ask.

TIA,
David
 
Hi

Double click My Computer, then right click the appropriate drive and select
Properties>Autoplay. Check 'Select an action to perform', then make your
selection for that drive.

Sorry but I don't see an 'Autoplay' choice. The Property choice doesn't
route to a secondary menu and such a choice isn't available in the
resulting Properties view.

OS: Windows XP Home SP1a

Hi

What do you see when right clicking the CD drive and selecting Properties?
