Is there any way to stop the OS from displaying "What do you want Windows to
do?". Jeez, you would hope and pray, that the OS might figure out, that I
bring my work home every day, and every day the OS asks the same question.
Its a flash drive, dammit.

Hi Jim,

Try this:

Note that this will have to be repeated with each (different) USB
drive.

In Explorer right-click on the USB drive and select 'Properties'.
Click the 'Autoplay' tab.
For each type of media in the drop-down box click 'Select an action to
perform' and
click 'Take no action'
Click 'Apply' and 'OK' to exit.
