how do you remove these?

Hi, are they shown here?

Also this may help - but caution as always. (And it's older material, but likely still valid, so be careful)

So as far as I know it's a registry edit- see the link in my previous post.

Or try here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers
or here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers

I don't have such devices, so can't verify.

Create a system restore point or registry backup before deleting anything.
