Rather than the automated hand step to do that, can it be scripted? Razz

Do you mean temporarily ? Say AutoPlay should be supressed when your script is running ? Something like that ? Smile

The following will supress AutoPlay for Removable Drives:

Code:
#Persistent
Menu, Tray, Icon, User32.DLL, 4
Gui -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow

lpStr  := "QueryCancelAutoPlay"
MsgNo  := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", UInt, &lpStr )
OnMessage( MsgNo, "QCAP" )
OnMessage(0x219, "Notify_Change")

Return

Notify_Change(wParam, lParam, msg, hwnd) {
IfEqual, wParam, 32768, Gui, Show, x0 y0 w1 h1
}

QCAP( wParam, lParam, msg, hwnd ) {
  Gui, Hide
  Return True
}


Smile

you are a genius! One more, this may seem like a minor question, but the little mouse-cursor icon which appears when you insert a DVD/CD (it looks like a arrow with a disc on it)..., can that be turned off to? I was curious about that, if that can be done globally to, but either/and or would be great to know. ! Smile Thank you Skan! You are the best!

+ I wanted to add in here, the little wait/flickering hourglass too is irritating to look at, ... hopefully maybe there is a way to turn off animated cursors -- but I do have a separate question about the "CD Mouse-Cursor", and turning that off specifically for that script :=) I hope I make sense.

I found this, but not sure how to work it. My goal now is to change the default Hourglass/wait mousecursor to a default arrow. Can this be done using this code? Sorry, I am very bad with procedure to use DLL calls. Thank you for any assistance.

Code:

   result1 := DllCall("LoadCursor", "Uint", NULL, "Int", IDC_ARROW, "Uint")
   result2 := DllCall("SetSystemCursor", "Uint", result1, "Int", IDC_WAIT, "Uint")

I am not sure and yet to try it but I think you can make the Cursor static by adapting the various code given in Hiding the mouse cursor

PS: Sorry for the late reply .. was not in town for couple of days!
