Stop AutoPlay Popup

I've got an external drive hooked up through USB. Everytime I boot up I get this auto play popup all the time.

Is there a way to stop this happening at bootup as I know it is there & it is only for storage?

Type gpedit.msc in run and hit enter

In the group policy windows navigate to,

user configuration>Administrative templates>Windows components>Auto play policies



In the right pane double click on turn off autoplay and make it as enabled...

You are done...

Thanks Delphin. I'll see how that goes. :)

You are welcome..

Just tried this fix, and it works.
Note (even if obvious in retrospect):
for a USB (external) drive, one needs to choose "All Drives" and not "CD-ROM and removable media drive" (see Capture.JPG attachment).
