How can I change how the computer handles multimedia content or data files in Windows XP?
Microsoft® Windows® XP has a feature called Autoplay, which opens a dialog box that indicates what Windows can do after it detects the media type you selected. This allows you to select an application to open the selected file type. File types can include music CDs, music files, video files, mixed content, DVD movies, pictures, and blank CDs. These may vary depending on the type of optical drive that is used. Use the following instructions to modify the media type. • From the Start menu, click My Computer. • In the My Computer window, under Devices with Removable Storage, right-click the device, such as a CD-RW or DVD-ROM drive, and then click Properties. • In the device properties dialog box, click the Autoplay tab. In the drop-down list, select the multimedia content type you want to change. • Select the application that should open the multimedia content you have selected. • Click OK. • In the My Computer window, from the File menu, click Close.
