Re: got it

easy... maybe if MS just disabled all auto run all together.. but they never will...

and I tired to disable it a couple of ways but stupid XP still runs it.... SP2 being secure at all... yet this hole they never work on.

Re: got it

To disable autorun, change the registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SYSTEM> CurrentControlSet> Services> Cdrom> AutoRun

from 1 to 0. Reboot. That's it.

Re: got it

You can use Microsoft's TweakUI to disable autorun, too.

Re: got it

You can use TweakUI to disable AutoPlay, but I am not sure that this will disable AutoRun.

AutoPlay detects types of files on removable disks and asks what you want to do with them. AutoRun executes the autorun.ini file in the root directory of a removable disk, which is the major security risk.

Re: got it

If you right click on your drive within "My Computer", there is an autorun tab, you have to turn it off for every single instance that is in the menu. Simple

Re: got it

Unless you're seeing something I don't have on any of my 5 machines, that is an AutoPLAY tab, not an AutoRUN tab. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, DON'T CONFUSE THEM.

Re: got it

Yes, I know there is a difference, I meant AutoPlay, not autorun. And, yes Autorun can be disabled with TweakUI, I was replying to the person above me talking about autoplay, sorry.

...disabled Auto-Run temporarily for DVD/CDs you are unsure about it.
