AnyDVD will always scan the disc right when you put it in. If you don't want
AnyDVD doing this when you boot your system then, honestly, remove discs before rebooting or booting.
To get
PowerDVD to not automatically play discs make sure in the settings that it doesn't autoplay inserted discs. There is a setting in
PowerDVD 8 to start
PowerDVD when
Windows starts and another setting to automatically play a disc when it's inserted. These settings likely also exist in
PowerDVD 7 and prior versions.
My advice is to
(1) not leave discs in your drive(s) and
(2) disable
PowerDVD from starting with Windows and from automatically playing inserted discs.
