tal ormanda Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Menus pop up etc, how can I set these to not pop up. Or make certain ones only.
Tarun Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Let's narrow it down. Which "menus" are you talking about? The menu that prompts you to pick how to view your USB drive based upon the data/media that is on it? Or is it the balloon tooltips that appear in the systray?
rms Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Run => gpedit.mscAdministrative templates => System => Turn Off Autoplay, set to enabled and select All drives in properties.
tal ormanda Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Run => gpedit.mscAdministrative templates => System => Turn Off Autoplay, set to enabled and select All drives in properties.When I type in gpedit.msc Windows can't find it.What I want is to turn off the auto play menu from poping up. And just make the folder pop open. Edited January 25, 2007 by tal ormanda
Jeremy Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 So click the option to open the folder and check the box that says "Remember this selection" or whatever it says.

mywindow Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Do you have an "Autoplay" tab in the drives properties?To customize autoplay settings, open My Computer, right-click the drive you want to customize, select Properties, then Autoplay.If that fails to give you more options? You should use the Microsoft Power Toy called TweakUI.Side Note: Change your Windows Theme to a default like "Classic" or "Windows XP". This could be the reason you are missing the additional check boxes? Edited January 25, 2007 by mywindow
tal ormanda Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Probably, I'm using a Vista theme. Totally forgot about checking the properties on the drive. Edited January 25, 2007 by tal ormanda
tal ormanda Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) When I switched the theme to Windows default there was still no checkbox and autoplay still came up. With my 256MB usb just the folder pops up. That's ok. The 1GB pops up some U3 folder thing and the autoplay. Both of which the driver for the U3 and the driver for the 1GB usb I set to off in the properties.EDIT: The U3 driver has an autorun file, but I cannot delete it to see if it will stop the U3 from popping up.

Jeremy Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Don't see a check box or else I wouldn't be posting here.Could have fooled me. Anyway, I somehow always remember there being a checkbox. Oh well. Next.
tal ormanda Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Yes, there is a checkbox. I have seen it before, not now, but look at the picture. Do you see it... Edited January 25, 2007 by tal ormanda
Jeremy Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 There's no need to use that attitude. I did not say there was. You've received your answer and that's the end of it.
Jeremy Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) You started the topic, I just offered suggestions to help you resolve your issue. Cheers. Edited January 26, 2007 by Jeremy
Tarun Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Let's play nice guys and try to find a resolution to the issue. Sarcasm and insults only lessen the chances of finding the solution.
