Turning Off Auto Insert Notification
Have you ever noticed that the CD-ROM light on your computer flashes periodically for no apparent reason? This is because Windows is checking your CD-ROM drive every few seconds to see if a CD has somehow appeared.
If you like, you can disable this action. Right-click on the My Computer icon and select Properties. Click the Device Manager tab, click the plus sign next to the CD-ROM icon, select your CD-ROM device, and click Properties. Click the Settings tab and uncheck the Auto Insert Notification box, then click OK. The downside to this technique is that when you switch CDs in your CD-ROM drive, the name of the current CD will not appear next to the drive icon.
