Everytime I plug a compact flash card (or memory stick) into my computer I
get programs that rush to help me and I don't want help! I have my Autoplay
settings ALL on "Ask me every time" ("Take no action" seems to be not an
option with Vista.) and I still get Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 Photo
Downloader rushing to download my photos. How can I stop all of this
"help"?

Try holding down the shift key as you plug it in.

This time it has nothing to do with AutoPlay.
When installing Adobe PSE it placed a deamon in the system tray. This
daemon checks for new memory cards with photos and if it finds those it
will launch PSE.
Disable/close/exit that deamon and PSE will keep quiet.

To stop PSE from starting that deamon every time you log on go to
Edit -> Preference -> Camera or Card Reader -> Download Options and
disable "Auto Launch Adobe Photo Downloader on Device Connect"

And almost on-topic, I don't know how many of you have used the Autoruns
program from SysInternals, but it is GREAT. You can see every piece of
cruft that runs when you start Windows, and turn them on or off. It
pulls the info from every hiding place in the registry.
