Anyway to disable Autoplay?

[Wii Master 64]

Since my SD card slot is crapping out on me for some reason, I need a way to disable Autoplay so that pop-up window won't pop up every time my computer re-detects my SD card. I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

Yeah right, sorry. It used to work. I wonder why it got removed.

 

[kamskywalker]

Not your fault. I just thought you might no what it said or where it went.

Click Start > Control Panel > AutoPlay

Select Take No Action for Each Device.

Then De-Select Use Auto-Play for all media and devices.

That disables it for everything. I only want it disabled for the sd card/slot.

That will be Mixed Content, if not:

However Ignore the second post:
WOT is flagging that site as 'unsafe'.

I have been there as well. The .inf does not work, and I'm looking at the program now, but have no wish to pay for it.

 

[kamskywalker]

The first does not work. The third may lead somewhere, but the posts themselves do not.

Post #7 should work - works here.

If you had read further (#8), you would understand that I am aware of that option, and choose not to use it because I want to disable autoplay for SD cards only.

 

[whs]

OK, my bad.

Try disabling Mixed Content and report back.

 

[kamskywalker]

Autoplay still ran.

This looks very detailed - but just do the opposite (for example: 0 - off | 1 - on):

That seems to be disabling autoplay entirely, which I do not want to do.

However, in the registry, I found the folder CancelAutoplay, which may be useful. Still playing with that...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\CancelAutoplay

 

[kamskywalker]

Well thanks for the help guys. Hopefully someone will find an answer...
I'm giving up for now, and suggesting to Microsoft that device specific autoplay disabling become a feature of windows 8.

Edit1: If I can find where to suggest it, that is...

Use Panda USB Vaccine. It's free.
