How can I prevent videos from website run automatically?

I run Media Center live and recorded tv in a small window during the visit of my favorite sites.  Many of the websites have articles I want to read as well as the same information in the form of a video (complete with ads).  I would like to know if there is a way to prevent, audio and video on websites to run automatically in Windows 7?  The audio portion of videos runs simultaneously with audio of Media Center what the audio of the two useless.

I do however sometimes, visit video sites like Hulu and network sites to watch streaming tv shows of old and would need to be able to turn on audio/video on these Web sites.

What is a setting in Windows or in the browser?  I usually use IE 11 for web browsing, but if there is another browser that offers more control over the audio/video Web sites I could without browsers.

You can't control that, sorry.  Only the person who programmed the site can decide how the site works.  Or they can give you the control to choose, if they built these options on their Web sites.
