Can you give a tip to know what component I need to configure to avoid Xp to search for the associated applications and prompting to confirm execution when I plug an external mass storage device?. Can this be done for all users?

Thank

If it is USB Mass Storage Device then you can enter new flag:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E.......}\xxxx\NonRemovabl
e DWORD 1

This should do the trick.

I'm not exactly sure what it does internally but it is used by usbstor.sys
driver. Only name of this value (NonRemovable) drove my attention so I tried
it but it was not what I thought it would be :'(.

Some optimizations will work like on fixed disks, and XPe should not bother
you with drive insert notifications.
You can try manually to find and change this value at run time. (Don't ask
me how to do it from TD since key will change).

I was unable to find anything on the NET about this flag. Let me know if you
find some info.

This Flag actually works ok to avoid Autorun; but I'm afraid to cause something else
