Group Policy - allowing eject rights kills autoplay

I am trying to allow users in a school environment to eject memory cards so
that they can leave their card readers permanently attached to their PCs
which are running XP SP2.
Sure enough, editing group policy to change the local security policy for
ejecting and formatting removable media to "administrators and interactive
users" allows them to do this, but it seems to have the side effect of
killing autoplay completely for all users, including administrator.
Autoplay is not disabled by policy, and when the eject policy is changed
back to "administrators only" and the system rebooted, autoplay starts
working again!
My users need autoplay, but without eject rights they are liable to cause
card problems by removing cards while in use. Due to this problem the only
option I can give them is to use "safely remove". This removes all four
drives associated with the card reader which then has to be
unplugged/replugged before it can be used again which is not ideal.
I'm new here, but have tried various searches without success, so has anyone
seen this or got any suggestions?
Thanks,
Fred
