How do I disable autorun for an external hard drive?
Okay. I have an external hard drive with two partitions on it. Every time I plug it into the computer, the autorun dialog starts. This is starting to get very annoying. How can I create an autorun.inf file that tricks the computer into doing nothing when it runs the file. I have already created a blank autorun file, but windows still opens an autorun dialog for both partitions. I have also tried disabling autorun from the hard drive properties. However it resets every time I plug in the external again. Any ideas?
Solution:- sure, download and install TweakUI from Microsoft:

among other lovely power-user settings it allows you to toggle autorun for various devices or turn autorun off altogether (as I did as it's friggin' annoying)
