When I put a disk in my dvd drive, most of the time windows askes me
how I want to process the files on the disk. Sometimes, it will
automatically open a browser window showing the contents of the disk.
I have an application I wrote in VB2005 that puts together pieces of a
larger file that had been burned to two or more disks. When it
finishes the file on one disk, it opens the dvd tray and prompts for
the next disk. When I put the next disk in the drive, windows
automatically opens a browser window to the disk, which I do not want
or need. How do I disable this function from my application?

You may not want to. You can disable Auto Notification, but that often
causes problems.

I don't want to permanently diable it. Just temporarily.
