Certain CDs have the ability to automatically run once they have been placed in your computer’s disc drive. This includes Music CDs and some software CDs that may have the built-in ability to AutoPlay. This allows a music CD to launch your preferred media player and begin to play music. This also allows game or software CD to launch the game or program as soon as the disc is read. You can configure your Windows AutoPlay settings to automatically run depending on the type of media the computer detects on your CD. Writer Bio
