Not sure where exactly to put this...

You know when you insert CD's of different types (data, music, DVD, etc) windows pops up and asks you what you want to do? Well, I want to disable the autoplay for all types all at once for both my CDRW and DVD drive.

Is there a reg entry that can disable autoplay without me setting the "take no action" option for every event for both drives?
 
In XP Pro:

Start>Run>gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System
Double-click "Turn autoplay off" and set it to Enabled.

:)
 
In XP Home (gpedit.msc is not included):

Start>Run>regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

Create a new DWORD value called: NoDriveTypeAutoRun
with value = 0x000000b5 (181)
 
Thanks! That sure was much easier than going through all the settings for each data type and drive!!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
