How to Enable AutoPlay in Vista
AutoPlay analyzes the content of a removable media device connected to the computer and performs a specific action based upon the content included on that device. While AutoPlay is a feature automatically enabled in Windows Vista, users can easily change the AutoPlay settings from the Control Panel. If you or another user have disabled AutoPlay, you can reconfigure the settings to re-enable the feature. Moreover, you can also configure the feature's advanced options to change how it behaves when certain media is accessed on the computer.
