Scott pinned it, tyrant Google follower Ubuntu. Admitted bright spot it was, ego spasm took over milking cow, begin shoving garbage into user space. Won’t be too long another revolution take its shape. Remember Ubuntu, there are alternatives.

Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately, Ubuntu, (like many other OS’s) has retooled their menu options since this article. I have 10.10, and I can’t turn off autoplay! It saddens me.
Any idea how to do it in the new menu system?

Thanks Costas. Still works like that in Intrepid but might change for Jaunty.

It doesn’t work like this any more in Hardy Heron, instead the settings can be found in Nautilus (the file browser) under Edit->Preferences->Media . See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713724 for more details.
