    Just follow the below steps:

    • Right-click on the drive icon for your CD drive, CD recorder, or DVD drive, and select "Properties".
    • Choose the AutoPlay tab, and choose the desired action for each type of CD. For example, choose Music CD, then click Select an action to perform, then select Take no action.

    AutoRun is the program that enables automatic launching of the CD-ROM. Below is a tips of how to disable the AutoRun. You just have to modify the specific key in the registry.

    • Go to Start Menu and select Run.
    • Then type "regedit" and scroll to the following key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/CDRom

      To deactivate autorun: Autorun = 0
      To activate autorun: Autorun = 1

    • Restart your computer.
