Would it be a good idea to **STOP** automounting drives (at least with read/write access) in Windows in future versions?

How about "Windows has detected a new drive - do you want to use this drive?" to which we could answer "No".

This would also solve the problem of Windows wanting to assign drive letters and format partitions of types it doesn't recognise - a real pain in the backside if you dual-boot Linux and Windows on one PC.

Apparently there is a registry hack which prevents XP from automounting the Vista volume. The Vista drive's letter appears in (XP's) explorer, but no label or anything else. TweakUI won't fix this problem by hiding the Vista volume either.

Ach Yes, here it is Herr Doktor Baron; HKLM\System\MountedDevices. If there is an 'Offline' key modify it if not create it. In this key create a new DWORD value with the name \DosDevices\X: (the slashes are necessary and, obviously, substitute the XP-relative drive letter of the Vista volume for X). Give this the value 1 and bingo! Your maniacal laughter should resound through this and all other worlds to which you have access.
