Assuming that you're running Windows XP, install Tweak UI for Windows XP (use the link below to download it). Then run it and (in the Tweak UI window) click on My Computer / AutoPlay / Drives and uncheck the drives that you don't want to be autoplayed (for me I unchecked all available drives (except for my CD drives)). You might need to log off or restart for the new settings to take effect. P.S. At last I found how to do this. (this used to really annoy me, and in fact I read your message looking for any solutions... now that I found a solution, I want to do something good and help someone with it :-) http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/TweakUiPowertoySetup.exe
