Set AutoPlay Defaults in Windows 7

Although I do not find Autoplay to be a useful feature, many do. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set autoplay defaults in Windows 7.

The defaults will save you time as you use media with your PC, by opening your DVD immediately or ripping your CDs without you telling your computer to do so, each time.

Note: These guides are written for the public beta of Windows Seven Ultimate (build 7000.) As further builds are released, these guides may be subject to change and will be updated accordingly. If the methods described below do not work, please don’t hesitate to ask our experts in the forums.
