Stopping the Computer from Opening / Playing DVDs

All right, so since I was upgraded to Windows 7, all of the settings, including custom settings for the DVD drive, I had reset to default.

Where do I go to make it so the DVD doesn't automatically play when I insert it?
On Windows XP, I had it set so nothing came up, and that it would always do that when inserting a DVD.

Thanks in advance.

Amazing, right? For once, it's not an actual "problem." =P

 

Hum? This is strange. When I insert a CD in my laptop (Windows 7) it opens a window saying "Automatic Reproduction" (Reprodução Automática, google translator says Auto Play/Playback automatically). There you chose if you want to start the DVD now.

Is that what you is looking for?

 

No, I don't want the menu asking me if I want to open the DVD or not to come up, either.
That's how I had it set before, and I can't remember how I did it.

Right now, when I insert a DVD, it automatically plays in Windows Media Player, which I don't want.

 

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> AutoPlay

There you should have a screen with a number of settings, some of them pertaining to the disc drive. Change them to whatever you would like.

 

Awesome! Thanks, Misty! :smile:
It's now set to "Take no action."

You may lock this now. :smile:
