Is there *really* an Auto-Insert Notification setting for XP-SP3?

You mean that you want to stop drive polling?
If you get TweakUI XP and open to Auto Play,
I think unchecking the drive letter in the "Drives"
submenu is what you want.

Under the "types" submenu you can set autoplay
settings. With that you can eliminate the inane
box that asks, "What do you want to do?"

Then inane options in that inane box can be a pain
in the neck. A lot of add more without asking. You
can delete some of them , if you want to, by deleting
the Registry subkeys under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers
