How to set Autorun off permanently
Hello!
I don't want to get annoying messages when I connect USB Flash disk or put a DVD in the drive. I found that I can switch it off in the Registry - all items with the name "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" (about 4 or 5 of them) set to "FF" value - Autorun off for all units. But after some time I always see that the values have been set to default and I receive the messages again. Maybe some autorepair function of XP. Do you somebody know what to do? Some better setting (or some batch to overwrite the registry after every XP start)? Thanks! |

How to set Autorun off permanently
Well, it is the basic setting for common users but this setting doesn't
sustain and it is very annoying to set it repeatedly for all drives. That's why I searched some more efficient setting and found the setting in the registry - you can set it for all drives. But now I see that this setting is also not permanent. I use CCleaner for cleaning the comp from crap and registry issues, then SpeedMyPc and RegistryBooster from Uniblue (Microsoft recommended). None of these programs changes my registry setting so it must be some "autorepair" function in the system (XP Home SP2 + all updates) which after some time always sets "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" from the value "FF" hex (all devices Autorun off) to the default "91" hex. I would like to find the solution how to inactivate it. It should be question for Microsoft but I cannot find any free support at Microsoft. "Lorne" wrote: "Honza" wrote in message ... Hello!

I also think so but which one is turning it off? None of the cleaning
programs does it so I think it could be some XP function.

How to set Autorun off permanently
I know TweakUI, I set many times Autoplay off using it but the setting always
returned back after some time. That's why I started to search some more efective setting and I came to registry setting. Now I see that it is also not enough. I offen use the cleaning programs as I wrote but as I checked the registry setting haven't changed after cleaning. "Touch Base" wrote: "Honza" wrote in message ... Hello!

How to set Autorun off permanently
Thank you, Olórin, I will study your recommendations. I will more deeply
study the items of the registry. I also meant to make some registry correction and put i to Windows Start to renew the setting if any setting is not really permanent. I would also like to find some Microsoft reference to this problem (=what sets the "NoDriveTypeAutorun" item to default). I use my PC for my job and don't want to use any stupid decorations in the system. I'll give information in some time, maybe in a new discussion thread. "Olórin" wrote: "Honza" wrote in message ...
