      <![CDATA[<p>For those who have XP Home (no gpedit.msc) and don't want to hassle with the registry, I found a nice tool that turns off autoplay in the easiest way that I have ever seen (it's also reversible). Just Google for "Auto Play Squelch" and you will find it.<br />

      <![CDATA[<p>Great advice!!! Thank you so much.  I have to agree with Haz, I think that the Group Policy method does not work with Home Edition as gpedit.msc does not even exist on my OS drive.  However, TweakUI is a great tool for any XP machine if you know how to use it, or only use it for things like this that give you clear direction.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Thankyou Jim Ekleberry! This was the type of answer I was looking for! Oftentimes, these settings are completely configurable without the need for external software! (Not that TweekUI is a bad program however) just that I am proud of you for giving truly professional advice! Indeed many programs exist to help you do things that windows already does (when you know how), and I'm in favour of all those who take the time to educate this to millions of people who would have otherwise paid for software they didn't need! So Bravo to you! (To Leo also, as generally his site is pretty good as a whole!) May the knowledge live on within those willing to share it!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>I'd like to thank you for saving my sanity by posting this information.  The Auto-play window was running over and over on my daughter's computer and I could not turn it off. Each time it popped up, we were unable to type or use any other application whatsoever.  I suspected spyware also.<br />
 <br />
I got on my laptop, googled "remove auto-play", found your site, downloaded TweakU and in the process I found that several media drives had been installed on her computer.  I disabled autoplay on all of them, thanks to the TweakU program and also began running the anti-malware, anti-virues.. etc atc.</p>

<p>Before I found your site I was about to throw the computer in the pool. I've since bookmarked this site and I'd like to Thank You Very Very Much!!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>For the newest version of TweakUI (2.10.0.0), <br />
find autoplay this way:</p>

<p>On the left outline, click My Computer.<br />
Under that, select AutoPlay. </p>

<p>You could uncheck individual drives, but <br />
look at the Types setting first. Unchecking <br />
just one box in Types may do the trick.  </p>

<p>IMHO the Handlers item is useless.<br />
Most of the entries cannot be deleted <br />
and most of the details (file args and <br />
wording) can't be changed either.  I have<br />
one entry that always appears on autoplay,<br />
but the args are wrong, so it doesn't work.<br />
TweakUI is no help for that one.</p>]]>

2. Locate and click the following registry key:<br />

3. To disable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 0 (zero). To enable automatically running CD-ROMs, change the Autorun value to 1. <br />
4. Restart your computer. <br />
NOTE: This method disables automatically running CD-ROMs. If you want to disable automatically running CD-ROMs depending on the CD-ROM that you insert in the CD-ROM drive, you can press and hold down one of the SHIFT key while you insert the CD-ROM. </p>

Any suggestions for those that don't want to use US-English regional settings (the rest of the world ;-> ) or have I misunderstood what it means?</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>I want to turn it autoplay off - permanently - for all users - for all drives. Reason?</p>

<p>I have a laptop: I have to use external drives - Firewire and USB. I have more disk drives than I have enclosures to hook them up to - so my external HDD situation can be highly dynamic. And each HDD change seems to screw up the autoplay options I've already set.</p>

<p>And as I'm a relatively functional adult, I am well and truly capable of invoking for myself the programs I deem are needed at any given instance.  But Autoplay thinks it knows better than I. Even though it farts around, then asks me what to do anyway.</p>

<p>[This is highly frustrating, and an insult to my intelligence. If I want my intelligence insulted, I will watch the Fox News channel.]</p>

<p>If you have a solution for Windows XP (SP1 or 2), please let me know.</p>

<p>If your best solution is to harass MS about it: that's fine, I'll do it. After all, MS is the exception that proves the rule: Do not shoot the MESSENGER.  (It's the first thing I kill when re-installing XP)</p>

<p>Cheers and many thanks for the help you give to the dazed and confused.  I want a one-step process to kill autoplay for every possible attached drive, and if the answer obviously exists in the posts I am commenting on, then yes I deserve to be condescendingly referenced as stupid, a bonehead, and worthy of a political career.</p>

<p>Thanks for reading this far,</p>

      <![CDATA[<p>Well, I downloaded TweakUI and tried to install it. I got an installation wizard which gave me no options on where to install it. The wizard said it was installing it and then disappeared without a trace. (Not a very wise wizard) So I don't know whether this thing is in my system and if so, where.</p>

<p>Your instructions do not say where it should be either.</p>

<p>Any advice?</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Dear Leo,<br />
> Seems fair enough - except that when I encountered it for the first time, it kept forgetting the settings, and would always ask. From my perspecitive that's worse that not having auto-play at all. And then I couldn't turn it off. If that sounds familiar, then you know my frustration.</p>

<p>Yes I do Leo. thanks for the heads up on how to REALLY disable XP autoplay on specific drives. I have a second HDD with several partitions and hate XP asking what to do with each partition when I insert it into my laptop. I have been a long time user of TweakUI but never cottoned on to that feature.<br />
Thanks again,</p>

<p>Dave Morgan (Australia)</p>

<p>PS I found your solution using Google.</p>

<p>And for those wanting to add TweakUI to their Control Panel you can find a great little utility here</p>
