I have an external (USB) HD permanently plugged into my computer. It
has 4 partitions (shares) each assigned to its own drive letter.

Whenever I boot the system I get any number from 0 to 4 autoplay
dialogues. It seems to be totally random and I've always assumed that
it has something to do with when, within the boot process, it
recognises each share. There's no (to me) obvious reason why it should
vary from boot to boot, but it does


In autoplay is your external drive set to "take no action"
?

I've never explicitly set it to anything as far as I can remember.

It doesn't open any files, but displays all the usual options of Play
using Windows Media Player, Add files, Copy Disc, Play audio files using
.. . , etc.
