XP and AutoPlay

[Jack]

I tracked down the source of the blinking drive light on a computer to a
CD drive. The light blinks every second. Very precise as confirmed by
Sysinternal's Regmon. I have turned off AutoPlay in every way that I
know how, including Properties for the drive (including double-clicking
"Take no action" on every option listed under <Properties|Actions|Select
an action to perform> for every type of CD that can be shoved in there,
Tweakui, X-Setuop Pro and maybe two or three that I can't think of, yet
XP continues to poll the drive every second to see if anything is there.

My only aim in this quest is to make Windows obey me like a beaten dog,
as I rarely look in the direction of the blinking light.

Check your IDE cable for any frays in the wires. A frayed or misconnected
cable has odd effects on hardware. Also, something I would do to make sure
Windows is the problem and not the drive is to remove the CD drive and put
in a different, known good CD drive.

Of course, you're too ****ing stupid to realise he's got a shitty MB that
turns on the LED on the IDE channel as it polls the CD every second on the
second, eh, you ****tard ****.

To fully disable autoplay:

Run: type "gpedit.msc"

Go to: Administrative Templates>System>Turn off Autoplay

What you need to do is remove the cd drive from the bay, hold it in your
right hand and then smack it as hard as you can into you face, preferably
punturing an eye in the process, while doing this repeated the word "i am a
whinging whining brainless ****ed up **** of a person" do this ten times and
all should be fine....
Oh and **** off in advance

As a dog lover I strenuously object to your terminology "obey me like a
beaten dog". I refuse to assist you - even though I can!

Learn some humanity.

Oh, shut the **** up. I might cook up a dog to go with the microwaved tick
penis with apple conserve under soured used cat litter chips and marmot
scrotum vinegar, simmered in a turbid casserole with a slew of wilted pieces
of monkey testicle and scallion in dressing, a side of pastries and a few
ounces of penile secretions.

No, but the O/P can certainly try to be human!
