    Can't get PowerDVD 7.3 to stop autoplaying BDs

    Hi folks,

    Whenever I insert a BD/DVD into my Windows 7 desktop system, PowerDVD 7.3 pops up and starts playing the disc. I don't want this... on this system I mostly just rip discs, not watch them. Only want PowerDVD to  launch when I click on the awful thing.

    In the windows Autoplay control panel, I've told it to take no actions for anything remotely like a BD disc and I uncliked the box about Autoplay everything.

    This only happened recently after installing an update to 7.3 recently, from a file I hoped would make the 2012 movie BD play properly (no luck!):
    CyberLink.5711_TaRe43_CLT_DVD090831-03.exe

    How can I stop this behavior? I've disabled the Cyberlink Media Library service and one other cyberlink thing in MSCONFIG startup without fixing the problem. So that's not it.

    Any help appreciated.
    Marc

    I found another startup service in msconfig "PowerDVD" (missed it when I saw the others that were titled starting with Cyberlink) and it seems to be OK for now.
