    How do you remove an option from the autoplay menu whenever you insert a flash drive? I don't want to disable autoplay completely, but I just don't want to see some of the choices windows presents. I unistalled Musicmatch from my laptop, but whenever I insert a USB drive, one of the options say Play with Musicmatch [which I uninstalled already].

    with ur USB drive inserted.
    My Computer -> right-click the drive -> Properties -> AutoPlay tab.
    From the pull-down menu, choose a file type and select what associated action (if any)
    don't want anything to autorun? -> choose "Take No Action" for each file type.

    cheers ...

    I dont think he means that, qhn. He wants to delete an autoplay option, not just remove entire auto option feature.
