Hi Trish, The default in that dialogue is a radio button that says always prompt for an action, but if you down arrow once, you will find a different radio button that says select an action to perform. Once you have the select an action to perform, radio button , checked it becomes the new default, and you can set different actions based on the content types on the drive. Example: Mixed content , could be set to open to view files and folders in Windows Explorer, while music could be set to play in your available media player, and pictures set to take no action. As for the checkboxes on the general tab, those can just be left alone.

Rick, I was doing all this as this email came in. I found the list you mentioned, but it meaning the selection I just arrow to the one to take no action, I did do an apply on it and ok as well. I noticed also on that page a check box that will not uncheck which says something like, always prompt for an action or something like that. On the General tab, another item was checked which I left it checked, but was to do with indexing. This one responded with spacebar to check/uncheck, but the other one on the Audio tab would not. Maybe since I did the apply and ok it will stay at that setting.

While you have it selected, go to the properties of the drive, and move to the Auto-Play tab. You will be presented with a list of content types,and as you tab thru the dialogue you will see how to select an action for each type. You will have to repeat the steps for each type in the list. I keep it simple, and select, take no action for all, so I am not interrupted with a dialogue when working on something else. If you need more assistance, just sing out.

I always arrow down to the "take no action" tab to ok and it's gone. I would like to know if there's some way that this doesn't keep popping up asking me every time? sThanks, Trish For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
