Remind me hot key autorun preventing

Hello Davis Avon,

It is very simple to prevent a CD or DVD from auto playing. When you insert the CD or DVD into the drive, you will see a blinking CD icon with an arrow. Then, press and hold the SHIFT key. It will prevent the CD or DVD from auto playing. I hope you got your answer. Thanks.
