These are unrelated, and aren't Plug'n'Play related either.
What do you mean by the CD doesn't play automatically. Do audio CDs not work by themselves, or is it the autorun program that doesn't launch? The first is an option that can be set on a drive by drive basis. Right click, go to properties, then go to the Autoplay tab to det your preferences. The second isn't exposed in the GUI, but is able to be disabled with a registry entry, and obviously reenabled. I don't know the correct entry, so if this is what you need, hopefully someone knows it.
I dont see a USB icon when I connect a USB drive (or other device), except on my old computer when it is used to tell me that I am using a USB 2.0 device on a USB 1.1 port.
