TweakUI is one utility of the suite of Microsoft Powertoys for Windows XP. It's
a good tool to have.

For Windows XP SP1 or later it can be downloaded from here:

Hello David,
No, I don't have TweakUI. How or where do I get it?

If you have TweakUI installed try this:

Open TweakUI, click on My Computer > Autoplay > Drives. Uncheck all system
drives except for your DVD/CD drives and any drives that use removable
media.
Click on Apply.

Click on Types to verify that both items are still checked then close
TweakUI.

See is that solved the problem.
