windowsIn order to prevent Windows 7 from asking you each time what you want to do, or worse automatically start running programs, each time you insert a CD or USB key into the PC you will want to disable AutoPlay:



  1. Type autoplay in the Start panel (or go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >AutoPlay)
  2. Under Choose what happens… deselect Use AutoPlay for all media and devices
