Looks like all that alcohol hasnt affected you one bit! ;-)

I deleted the autorun file in my Desktop directory and sure enough, that
stopped the endless spewing of the messages.  The other alternative was to
leave something in all the drives.  Oh well, I usually turn off Auto-Run
on my Windoze boxes becuase it is rather annoying.  I wont miss it at all.

Thanks for the help.
