How do I disable my new 64-bit W7 HPE SP1's autorun & autoplay?

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/967715 shows how, but it seems to
be for older Windows. I also do not see any NoDriveTypeAutoRun in my
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer\
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\policies\Explorer\
registry (don't have Gpedit.msc since I don't have a higher edition).

I want to keep my new machine secured and clean from physical
connections' infections. Thank you in advance.

we've learned that we can either stay out from underfoot or be stepped
on. They are a mystery and I am both terrified and reassured that to
know that there are still wonders in the Universe, that we have not

The autorun.inf blocker uses a neat trick. This workaround is separate
from NoDriveTypeAutoRun. Someone invented this, because they felt
the dude at Microsoft was half-hearted about NoDriveTypeAutoRun.
The Microsoft approach wasn't covering USB sticks with phantom
CD drives inside (the kind they leaving in company parking lots
to inject industrial espionage software).

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...ely-block.html

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYSoesNotExist"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoAutorun"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoAutorun"=-

The DoesNotExist prevents the inf from working.

The article tells you what to do.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/967715

To disable Autorun yourself on operating systems
that do not include Gpedit.msc, follow these steps:

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\pol icies\Explorer\
NoDriveTypeAutorun DWORD 0x000000FF

Value data box, type 0xFF to disable all types of drives

Of course, they don't cover the case
where the key doesn't exit.

You can create the key. I experimented with GPEDIT,
turned it ON and OFF, and it left behind the key :-)
You need to create a key below "Explorer", and the
data type is DWORD. Just as 967715 explains (sorta).

Postimage is going to disappear from the net soon,
so this picture won't last.

Install Giga Tweaker 3.
Go to Files and Drives.
Choose the tab Autoplay.
Click on Turn off autoplay for all media and devices.

Really? The OP does *not* have to install anything!

Control Panel AutoPlay [uncheck] Use AutoPlay for all media and
devices

That's it! No need to install a tweaker (obviously, it's the same
setting) or to start messing around in the Registry.

From [Settings Control Panel], you should select "AutoPlay".

I say "should" because I did something to expand the Conrol Panel to
show all options without having to navigate through a sequence of icons;
but I do not remember what I did for that. Thus, I do not know if
"AutoPlay" displays in a vanilla Control Panel or if you have to
navigate to it through other Control Panel icons.

Donald Trump claims everyone likes him. Does that
include his ex-wives? How about the students who
discovered that their education at Trump University
was worthless? And how about the contractors,
suppliers, and employees he stiffed in his several
bankruptcies?

Do not Google for this!! From the Windows Start button, select "Help
and Support". Enter AutoPlay.

In that case, I apologize. This is what I did:
