| Windows 7 Ultimate AMD64 3,688 posts Sydney, Nova Scotia | Check your AutoPlay settings in control panel. I have AutoPlay disabled so any external media doesn't auto play. What you describe is the way my system works by default. I just go to the drive and run the setup or autorun file to launch the disk. |
