    Whenever I insert an Audio CD it autoplays just fine, but when it's already inserted and I double click the CD, it opens in file explorer. How to make it to autoplay instead?

    you should not do that, bacause if the CD/DVD is infected with malware it will autorun and infect your whole machine.

    I found the solution here: sevenforums.com/general-discussion/119551-set-default-action-cd-dvd-bd-etc.html?s=3ee9a6ff23b9e1202c1f2b76049f5b4e
    Not very elegant, but it'll do.
