Windows 10: Windows 10 and .cda

I converted to Win 10 about six months ago. I am copying my CDS to my PC as a back up. I have suddenly come across one in .cda format. I understand that the format just copies a location but that doesn't help me if, every time I play the music, the CD has to be in the CD-player. I have read quite a few of your posts but none tell me completely how to do it, just direct me to Windows Media Player, etc. It seem that Windows is automatically applying .cda to the use of h cd - i surely can't alter a read-only CD? I really want to stop Win using .cda if possible. Your help would be appreciate please. Patrick

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
