Published in Windows XP Miscellaneous Tweaks by TweakXP Member with 8,880 views

If you have XP Home and want to disable the screen that Windows shows when you insert certain cds then follow this guide!

To disable autoplay for cd/dvd drives and removable media

 

1: Copy & Paste the following into Notepad:

 

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000b5

2: Save as a registry (.reg) file

3: Run the file to add the settings to the registry and there you have it - no more autorun or pop-ups!

It doesn't work! I'm tired a the autorun every time! Most annoying/useless thing ever. I have disabled it awhile ago, but I forget how.

You should be able to configure this thru the GUI. Right-click the drive in 'My Computer' and select 'Properties' then 'AutoPlay' tab. For each content type, select 'No Action'. Select 'Apply' to save the changes. This should turn off AutoPlay.
