Like I said, I've been using this method for quite a while on hundreds of mahcines (no exagerration), and haven't experienced what you're describing. The systems that I've worked with all deal with camera cards and CDs (burning and reading) on a daily basis. I'm not saying that this is the only way to deal with AutoPlay, merely another approach to it. I've posted it because it is a solution that has worked for me in the past. As with any other change a user makes to their system, they should test it out and make sure it doesn't affect their workflow in an undesirable fashion. I have a feeling the symptoms you're experiencing are environmental, like having some other feature/service service enabled/disabled, or it could be as simple as the fact you're using a notebook, which may cause Windows to adjust things automatically.
