Fix or remove Windows AutoPlay with CleanHandlers
CleanHandler is a utility that helps you remove or fix entries from the AutoPlay menu. There's no option for adding new programs to the AutoPlay menu. If your media player of choice doesn't support AutoPlay, there's not much CleanHandler can do. But it can clean up bad registry entries.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

right on, steven
Now, for the folks who:
- don't have Tweak UI
- don't want to download Tweak UI
- don't know how to download Tweak UI
- don't care about Tweak UI
... follow Tweak UI suggestion:
- open My Computer
- right-click the drive you want to customize
- select Properties
- select Autoplay
- select a content type, then chose an action for window to perform automatically
- repeat for any content type to modify
- when finished, click Apply or OK
- et voilà
- enjoy
Well, you can also get a computer without a CD or a DVD...

I suppose my comment was a bit cryptic. :) The devil is in the details. It sounds more complicated than it is in TweakUI. It's definitely a addon you will not want to live without.

Just follow these instructions: hit the windows key, type "autoplay" into the search bar (no quotes), now just change software to "take no action". Do the same for any other media types you want.
