How to customize Auto. Play defaults on Windows 1.
The Auto. Play feature on Windows is handy because it allows you to begin using a removable disk (External HD/SSD, CD or DVD) or a memory card right after you insert them into your system. The feature is based on the fact that we are inserting the disk or memory card to access content on it so one step is saved by opening that disk or memory card up for you.
