How To Disable AutoPlay?
Using XP Pro/SP2...
Whenever I insert a USB drive, XP takes an inventory of the contents of the drive and then displays a dialog ... "The disk or device contains more than one type of content... What do you want Windows to do?" Play using Windows Media Player Copy pictures to a folder View a slideshow of the images etc. How can I set XP to NOT take an inventory and prompt for action? I simply want to insert the USB drive and XP simply shows it as an additional drive (in Windows Explorer). Thanks!

Re: How To Disable AutoPlay?
Next time you insert the USB drive, click "cancel" on the Autoplay window or just hit
the *enter* key (which hits the cancel button) & after it's fully loaded, go to My Computer & right click on the device & scroll down to "Properties". Then click on the "Autoplay" tab & tick the "Select an action to perform". Click on the preferred action,(Take no action or Open folder to view files,etc.) click "Apply" & then click "OK". ~Gary "Robert Howells" <A@B.COM> wrote in message news:u4s0ObEFIHA.1164@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

This allows you to turn off the autoinsert notify for selected drives.
