Elliot B. Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 When I turn my PC on and Windows loads, I get 4x AutoPlay dialogues, one for each of my external hard drives. Any idea why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis Veteran Posted November 14, 2012 Veteran Share Posted November 14, 2012 did you read all of it? First make vissible all hidden folders and files.Open your HDD Check if there is a folder named autorun.inf Check if there is a file named autorun.inf Delete both of them. Then create a new folder with name autorun.inf and leave it empty. In case you don't like to see the folder make these few steps. To super hidde this folder open a command prompt. Click Start and in search type cmd. Then go to your HDD root. For example we assuming that the drive letter of the disk is E. You must type. E:\ E:\attrib e:\autorun.inf +s +h That's it,close command prompt and hidde again your hidden files and folders. Restart your computer and see if it worked.
