    You could turn off autoplay even without the gdedit actually, it is a simple windows option.(start menu, autoplay, disable for all devices)
    I don't want to completely turn off autoplay. Is there any way to turn it off for specific devices?

I don't really know where to put this question, but here goes.. I have an Acer Aspire laptop with Win7 Professional x64 on it. Whenever my laptop goes to sleep, then I remove any USB device, a mouse or flash drive, it automatically wakes from sleep. Any way I can prevent this? Thanks.
