Playing an audio CD automatically

When you insert an audio CD into your CD-ROM drive, does a folder listing your audio CD's tracks appear when you just want to automatically play the music? You can change that.

Here's how: 

1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
2. On the View menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the File Types tab, double-click AudioCD.
4. In the Edit File Type dialog box, make sure Play appears in bold in the Actions box.
