You can also make a removable drive's letter always be the same.  This is useful 
for a lot of reasons.  If you use the Disk Management Console as described:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-024

If you change the letter of a drive that's removable, when you disconnect and reconnect 
that drive it will again have that letter you just changed it to.

Then, you can right click on that drive letter, select Properties..., and then the 
Autoplay tab--and go through every possible media type for autoplay and select 'No 
Action' and Apply each time.  If every media type has a No Action, it won't even 
try to search your files.
