I haven't done any partition work yet because I wanted you to see this.

I just "X" the window and ignore that.

If there was actually autoplay materials on there,
I'd be very suspicious of how they got there.

There's no reason to be selecting options from there.

You can select options via the Control Panel.

There's a tick mark at the top, to disable all of it.

It's where the mouse pointer is located, in this picture.

I spotted the tick box, after looking at this site.

The information is contained in registry key "nodrivetypeautorun".
The number stored in there, is the logical OR of bitfields, with
a bit assigned for each function/type. Not that this is
important or anything. If you wanted to return the setting
to its previous value, I supposed you could make a note in
your notes file. But I don't particularly give a rats ass
about this function, whether on or off. It's just a nuisance.
