How to enable or disable AutoPlay feature?

Asked By kierstenrhiannon 0 points N/A Posted on - 12/10/2012

I'm experiencing this weird thing whenever I plug my USB stick on my USB hub. Autoplay keeps running to the point that I can't open my files properly, and even the USB directory. However, whenever I unplug my USB stick, the odd thing disappears. What could be the solution when Autoplay keeps running? What could be causing this?
