When i plug in usb hardware, such as a memory card reader or usb storage device, it doesn't ask me anymore what i would like to do with it after it is plugged in (eg. open with a certain program, view contents etc.) i have to go manually into "My Computer" to access them.
Is there any way to revert back to the computer asking me what i want to do with the hardware when it's plugged in?

This might work. Plug in the USB device. Go to "My Computer" and right-click the USB device. Select "Properties" and then select "AutoPlay". Check the option on the bottom saying, "Prompt me each time to chose an action." Click "Ok" Now unplug and replug the USB device. Now it should prompt you with the AutoPlay feature.
