disable blank cd autostart


Hi,

I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it.

How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?

Please help
Thanks

Can you not just choose "Do nothing" from the actions menu and tick "Always perform this action"?

Ok, I found the solution.

it's done in File Management which is an option in System > preferences that's not enabled by default
One of many ways:
nautilus-file-management-properties

Look under 'Other Media'
