    I don't know what this application is called but I sure would like to zap it so it won't run... ever.

    Here is a screen shot: http://www.ssbyjw.com/dogdear/PS0000.jpg

    I recently reloaded my OS and it seems to me when this thing popped up in the past there was a box to check for making it "always" do some action... like do nothing.

    Running XP with all upgrades.

    As usual, thanks folks...

    That's the Autoplay dialogue box, see .....

    How to disable the Autorun functionality in Windows which is recommended to avoid viruses fron USB sticks, etc.

    Alternatively configure Autorun for specific drives using Tweak UI - in Tweak UI - My Computer > Autoplay
    I think that box only comes up if Windows does not recognise the drive/content.
