Sometimes when you put in a music CD or a thumb drive Windows will pop up a Autoplay dialogue that is full of entries for programs which you may not use or may not even have installed. To clean them up you will need to install a free program from Microsoft called TweakUI [http://www.download.com/Tweak-UI/3000-2341_4-10002117.html?hhTest=1].

1.Run this program

2. Click the plus sign next to “My Computer”

3. Click the plus sign next to “AutoPlay”

4. Select “Handlers”

5. You’ll see a “Delete” button, but it doesn’t seem to work; instead, click the listing you want to get rid of and click the “Edit” button.

6. Uncheck all the drives listed under the “Supported Media” category.

7. Click the “Ok” button to save your changes and close TweakUI, and you should see your simplified AutoPlay dislogue the next time you pop in a CD or thumb drive.

TweakUI, however, doesn’t run in Windows Vista.
