    Forgotten the shortcut for this...

    When you insert a CD into the CD drive, Windows will usually attempt to autoplay it.

    However, there is a certain key combination you can press to suppress the autoplay for that instance. What is the key combination?

    It's a very complex one.

    hold Shift until it reaches the Autoplay stage.

    I always just let it go. This is a handy tip.

    I was trying Alt+Ctrl+Shift, then Alt+Control.

    Thanks.
