Greg S Trouw 0 Posted November 6, 2001 OK, through the entire beta this has been, well rather annoying. How does one disable auto-insert notification and drive inventorying in Windows XP. In Windows 2000, there was an option to do this in the "Computer Management Council" under removable storage. The options to disable auto-insert notification and drive inventorying are gone. Needless to say, one of my CD drives is a 5 disk changer (Nakamichi MJ-5.16 si/SCSI internal) and it has ALWAYS taken rather poorly to all this auto-insert notification, drive inventorying, auto-play, etc.......) The problem is that the OS thinks it's 5 seperate CD-Rom drives, the OS thinks wrongly. It is 1 CD changer, and everytime it goes to inventory the drives, the changer starts cycling, and cycling. This is annoying. In Windows 2000 one could disable this drive inventorying and auto-insert notification stuff from here. In NT 4 there were registry entries which one could modify with regedt32, though don't remember if they worked in win2k anymore or not. In Windows XP, with Microsoft having removed the options, now what? Auto-insert notification is OK on the DVD and standard CD Rom drive, but on the changer I don't want it operable and cycling my changer a lot. Share this post Link to post
