Q regarding disc detection and stuff :o)

[MonkeyThatBoy]

Is there a way to turn off that thing that pops up whenever I put a CD
in a drive? I don't want it launching anything especially when I'm
burning a disc,it tends to disrupt things.

Also is DMA automatically turned on in windows XP or do I have to go
somewhere to turn it on? Disc properties doesn't seem to allow me to
do that.

You can turn off AutoPlay in TweakUI > My Computer > AutoPlay > Types.
TweakUI is available from

You can also double click My Computer, right click the CD drive, select
properties, click the Autoplay tab, click Action to Perform, and Select -
Take No Action.
Click Apply and OK.
