if you use KDE, I think it is a setting in control panel, peripherals..

Automount

With KDE 3.5 and newer, devices can be automounted, meaning one only has to 
insert the removable disk. KDE will then open an automount prompt asking the 
user “What do you want to do?” with the media. To configure the list of 
options prompted for devices open the KDE Control Center and navigate to 
Peripherals+Storage Media Here you can add and remove programs from the list 
of devices.

The automount feature will only work if dbus, hal and udev are installed and 
the kernel is properly configured. To find out if they are running on your 
system check the Process Table in KSysguard for: hald, dbus-deamon, and 
udevd. KDE does not provide any of these components. You must check with you 
distribution.
