Abstract
I recently installed PowerDVD and it took over AutoPlay for pretty much all mounted media. This is really annoying. I wanted to stop PowerDVD from launching every time I put in a disc. Unfortunately, this wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. This article describes how to stop PowerDVD AutoPlay.

Control Panel
PowerDVD does not have a setting to stop it from AutoPlay. Instead, what you need to do is go to the Window’s old-fashioned Control Panel. Once there, select “Hardware and Sound” then “AutoPlay”. Once on the AutoPlay configuration screen, look for all instances of “PowerDVD” and change the configuration to whatever option you want. Refer to figure 1.

Summary
That’s it, very simple. Enjoy!
