AutoPlay Issue; Most Unusual

I Posted this previously; no solution as yet so I am posting it again....

Running Vista Home Prem 32Bit

Purchased a Portable Hard Drive. This portable HDD is Powered off the 2.0
USB Port. The 1st time I connected the HDD to my PC, I saw Driver
Installing...Driver Properly Installed. The AutoPlay Window opened...the one
that provides selections, View Files, Etc. The AutoPlay Window only opened
that 1 time, it no longer Opens when I connect the HDD. The HDD is running
fine, I here the 2 Beeps when connecting, I can access the HDD thru My
Computer, I can save and delete files...so it is working Fine.

But since the 1st time, the AutoPlay Window no longer opens. I can connect
a Thumb drive to the same Port and the AutoPlay Window Opens...so it is not
the PC.

I have contacted the HDD Tech Unit and Dell (Purchased and is being
connected to a dell PC)...both units said the problem was with the OS since
AutoPlay is a function of the OS. I explained, all other devices connected
opens the AutoPlay Window...if it was an OS issue, AutoPlay would not open
for any devices.....they were unable to provide any help.....

Suggestions?

My suggestion is that check whether there a desktop.ini which is hidden in
your hard disk drive root and this file may cause the problem.

Starting a new thread is the DUMB thing to do. Nobody will know what
possible solutions have already been recommended.

You are wasting everyone's time.

His new thread makes me think that he has decided to ignore the advice
already given (some of which was excellent, IIRC)...

From which I am guessing that he will ignore any new or repeated advice
in this thread.
