Windows Keyboard Shortcut of the Day


Shift+Insert a CD: Don’t auto-run / auto-play

Posted in Windows by estephen on July 26th, 2007

When you insert a CD in your computer, it will usually begin automatically playing or running a designated default program.

If you hold down the Shift key when inserting the CD, then nothing will automatically start, allowing you to use the Explorer (remember Windows key+E!) to view the files instead, if you like.
