<title>Open applications for devices or discs</title>
<p>You can have an application automatically start when you plug in a device
or insert a disc or media card. For example, you might want your photo organizer
to start when you plug in a digital camera. You can also turn this off, so that
nothing happens when you plug something in.</p>
<p>To decide which applications should start when you plug in various devices:
</p>
<steps>
<item><p>Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.
</p></item>
<item><p>Select <guiseq><gui>Details</gui><gui>Removable Media</gui></guiseq>.
</p></item>
<item>
<p>Find your desired device or media type, and then choose an application
or action for that media type.</p>
<p>Instead of starting an application, you can also set it so that:</p>
<list>
<item><p>The device will be shown in the File Manager (choose <gui>Open folder</gui>)</p></item>
<item><p>You will be asked what to open (<gui>Ask what to do</gui>)</p></item>
<item><p>Nothing at all will happen (<gui>Do nothing</gui>).</p></item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p>The <gui>Software</gui> option is slightly different from the others -
if the computer detects that there is software on a disk that you inserted,
it can try to automatically run the software if you like. This is good if you
have an application installed on a CD and want it to start when the disc is inserted (for example, a slideshow).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>If you don't see the device or media type that you want to change in the
list (such as Blu-ray discs or E-book readers), click <gui>Other Media</gui>
to see a more detailed list of devices. Select the type of device or media
from the <gui>Type</gui> drop-down and the application or action from the
<gui>Action</gui> drop-down.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you don't want any applications to be opened automatically, whatever you
plug in, select <gui>Never prompt or start programs on media insertion</gui> at
the bottom of the Removable Media window.</p>
