Setting Autoplay Preferences - HP Pavilion DV1010 Series Hardware And Software Manual

Setting AutoPlay Preferences

AutoPlay preferences can be set and used only while the
notebook is in Windows.
AutoPlay is a Windows operating system feature that determines
how the notebook responds when you access files on a removable
storage device such as a DVD-ROM drive, a DVD/CD-RW
Combo Drive, or a DVD+RW/R and CD-RW Combo Drive.
AutoPlay default settings vary by notebook model and
configuration. The first time you insert a CD or DVD into an
optical drive and close the tray, the CD or DVD might begin
playing or the AutoPlay pop-up window might be displayed.
If the AutoPlay pop-up window is displayed, select your
preferences as instructed on the screen.
The default AutoPlay settings can be changed. For example, you
can set the notebook to display a slide show of the pictures on a
CD containing digital photographs, begin playing the first track
of a CD containing music, or display the names of the folders and
files on a CD containing data files. You can also set the notebook
to prompt you for a preference each time you insert a disc or to do
nothing when you insert a disc.
At many AutoPlay settings, there might be a pause of several
seconds while AutoPlay opens both the disc and the associated
disc player application.
AutoPlay preferences are not available for diskette drives, but can
be applied to most other removable storage devices. AutoPlay
preferences can be set for a digital memory card such as a Secure
Digital (SD) Memory Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro,
xD-Picture Card, MultiMediaCard, or SmartMedia (SM) card.
To access AutoPlay settings:
1. Select Start > My Computer.
2. In the Devices with Removable Storage group, right-click an
item such as a DVD-ROM drive.
3. Right-click Properties.
4. Select the AutoPlay tab.
