Turn off auto-launch?

When I insert an SD card in my computer (or flash drive), Lightroom automatically launches.  How do I turn this off?  It is really interfering with my ability to get other work done on the computer since I put my flash drive in 20 times a day.  I have Windows 7, and use Lightroom 3.

    Try unchecking the "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" box in the "General" section of your "preferences" under the "Lightroom" menue in the Library.

    Change your Windows 7 Autoplay settings:

     

    START -> Default Programs

    click Change Autoplay Settings

    Pictures -> choose "Take no action" (was presumably set to "Import photos using Lightroom")
