Flash stick autorun 1

[peacecodotnet]

I have a flash memory stick that I use very often. Every time I plug it into my computer, a Windows Explorer window comes up...but I use a special program to navigate my files, so I don't want Explorer to come up. I tried right clicking on the Flash drive and setting the Autorun properties or whatever...but this still didn't work. How can I get rid of this annoyance?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Peace out,
Peace Co.

Download the Tweakui Powertoy from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Once downloaded and installed, open the application. Then navigate to the following option: My Computer > AutoPlay > Types.

Untick the "Enable Autoplay for removable drives" option > Click Apply > Click Ok

Restart your machine, now when you attach your flash drive you should not have the explorer window appear.
