I can't stop WMP from ripping CDs

I used to use Windows Media Player (version 10) to rip my CDs, so I set the Tools/Options for ripping in WMP to "rip inserted CD." I now use other software for ripping, so I have turned this feature off in WMP.
However, WMP does not recognise this. Whenever I insert a CD, WMP opens and starts to rip it, meaning that I have to close it down every time.
Anyone had this bug before?

If you're using Windows Vista, go to Control Panel, and use the Auto-Play there. Do as he said, set things to Take No Action, and it'll fix things. :3

Hi,
Try, open "WMP" click the small down arrow in the "RIP" tab, select "More options", uncheck "Rip CD when inserted"
