Hi All,

Can we stop the CD/DVD autodetect feature in XP Embedded ?
My application uses its own thread running in the background and I need to
stop the Disk Polling thread run by windows.

Thanks
 
BONTZ,

Did you mean Autoplay feature?
Then add the following key:
[HKCU\Software\Mi-crosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion-\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000-00095

Or don't include Explorer Shell (Shell32, precisely) and you won't have the Autoplay thread running at all.
