I just installed Windows XP Home.
A popup window with the title "AutoPlay" keep appearing periodically
on the foreground every ten seconds.
The popup window have a moving "torch", a green status progress bar
and a "Cancel" button.
The task manager show that the application "AutoPlay" keep running for
a few seconds periodically every ten seconds.
How to stop the "AutoPlay" application window from appearing
periodically on the foreground every ten seconds?
 
Either you have a CD or DVD in one of your drives or a program called
AutoPlay installed. Check:
Start/Run/msconfig/Startup and/or your runkeys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
