VLC starts hidden

When I insert a Audio CD VLC starts playing the CD in the background. No Gui or anything.

I have "told" windows to do nothing when I insert a CD because I use GB-PVR to play them...
I have to go to taskmanager to turn VLC off.

I really like to turn this off! How?? I can't find trhe settings for this...

I use 0.86. And this did not happen in the earlier version I had installed.

If you really want Windows to do nothing when you insert a disc in the drive, follow the suggestions from

I strongly suggest that everyone do this to prevent nasty stuff like the Sony BMG rootkit installation from last year.

VLC does not start by itself unless you have installed it as a process and this is NOT an option in the install of VLC, however it is an option in Preferences.
