AutoPlay
The Windows
AutoPlay
function allows
you to choose the way Windows handles
media files on devices with removable
storage (digital camera, CD, DVD, etc).
If you have inserted a disk that contains
files (such as a DVD, USB key or memory
card), Windows will display a dialog box
and ask you to choose how you want to
open the files.
For example, if you have inserted an audio CD or a DVD movie, Windows
will automatically display a dialog box and ask you to choose how you
want to play it. If Windows asks you to select a DVD player, we
recommend that you always choose the DVD player included with your
software collection (e.g.
PowerDVD
or
Windows Media Player
).
Playing downloaded files
Downloaded files may work with the media programs installed on your
computer, or may require specific programs. Files that include DRM
functions may only play in specific programs (e.g. iTunes, Windows Media
Player) or only on devices certified for use with the each type of file. Other
formats may require a specific audio or video
codec
that may not have
been installed on your computer.
