Setting an Application to Open When You Insert a CD/DVD

You can set the Windows application of your choice to open when you insert a music CD, picture CD, video DVD, or a blank CD or DVD.

1. From the macOS Finder, choose Apple menu > System Preferences.

2. Click CDs & DVDs.

3. From the disc type menu of your choice, choose Open other application.

4. Choose a Windows application from /username/Applications (Parallels)/Windows Applications.

When you insert a disc of the type you selected, the Windows application you chose automatically opens.

Note: 1. If you're unable to set a Windows application to open when you insert a CD or DVD, be sure that sharing macOS applications is enabled and that macOS CD/DVD-ROM is not selected in CD/DVD Preferences. 2. To enable a Windows application to open when you insert a CD or DVD, Parallels Tools must be installed. In most cases, Parallels Tools are installed by default.
