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.

I don't have an autorun tab on any of my optical drives in the path described here.....
