The selection box is an "Autoplay" menu. Autoplay may be turned off, in which case you don't get that pop-up. Personally I disable it because I don't like it popping up.

See instructions HERE for setting it in Group Policy Editor if you have Professional or Ultimate or use the reg script if you have Home Prem

Since your specs say W7 Ultimate, were you able to fix it using group policy editor?

I have adjusted autoplay panel but as yet haven't tried it out yet. Sorry about the delay but the last time I sent this post it was returned not delivered

P.S. I have been told that microsoft issued a patch to disable autoplay because it was vulnerable to malware attacks, so I will leave well alone
