Windows 7 plugged in USB does not play automatically Solution

When we insert a USB storage device such as USB into the host computer, the system usually pops up a dialog box asking the user to select an item to operate (by default, the system will "open the folder to view the file" as the preference. Figure 1). Now, some Windows 7 users may have discovered such a situation. When you plug in a brand new USB mobile storage device, after the system prompts that the device can be used normally, there is no "auto play" window that everyone is familiar with. What is the cause of this?

Don't think this is a problem with a USB device, or a bug in the Windows 7 system. This is actually caused by the default settings of the system. Let's solve this "not a problem" first, and finally tell everyone why this is happening.

Under Windows 7 Explorer (or open a folder arbitrarily), press the Alt key (if your system is not set to force the toolbar, you need to press this button), select from the pop-up menu "Tools → Folder Options".

Then, in the "Folder Options" dialog box that opens, switch to the "View" tab, pull the right slider (to the middle position), and cancel the "Hide Computer Folder" selected by default on Windows 7 system. The empty drive in the middle can be.

After the modification is completed, click the "OK" button to save the settings and exit.

From the solution method, I already know that some users know that this is not because Windows7 can't automatically play certain USB devices, but because Windows7 only recognizes some empty USB devices by default and does not run. If the user wants to ask why Windows 7 has to do this default setting, this is really "not a problem."
