Disabling Autoplay
I want to turn off Autoplay on my laptop.
XP SP3 When I Run "gpedit.msc" I get the Group Policy editor. I choose Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates - I don't see a System Folder (all that's viewable is a folder Windows Components). What do I need to do to see the System Folder in the Group Policy Editor to view the Turn Off Autoplay icon so I can "Enable" the "Disable Autoplay". Thanks for reading. Your help is greatly appreciated B^ |

XP Professional SP 3
My problem is that once I'm in the GPO Control Panel I don't see a System Folder once I've expanded the Administrative Templates folder the only folder that is viewable is "Windows Components".
