Turn off autorun on USB Drives
One way to prevent the autorun USB viruses in XP is to turn off the auto insert notification for all drives, so that the virus/trojan will not be executed when the USB is plugged in. Please see to it that you go to My Computer , right click and select “Open” or “Explore” and not “Autoplay”.
Go to Start Menu > Run and type gpedit.msc [Group Policy Edit]
Select Administrative Templates > System
Select “Turn off Autoplay” from right.
Set the radio button to Enabled, and change the “Turn off Autoplay on” to All Drives.
thanks for sharing this to us!
hi,it took me only a minute to solve this problem the way you have shown.thanks a lot
Oh thank you for this. The last solution to turning off autorun (for cds) that I found involved editing the registry by hand. This solves that too and was much easier (and safer).
Thank you.
This is actually very useful. It completely eliminates the chances of autorun viruses infecting your PC ..
But most of the autorun viruses run when you double click the Drive icon from Windows Explorer or even right click and select Explore.
There is a workaround for that. Turn off all autoruns as mentioned in the post. Insert the USB drive and do NOT open it from My Computer.
Instead, hit WINKEY+E to start explorer.exe. Then click on the USB drive from the left hand Tree. This will not run the virus mentioned in the autorun.inf, but directly displays the content of the drive.
If you have your windows settings turned to "Show hidden files", you can see the hidden infected files and delete them along with the autorun.inf
Thanks a lot i have been looking for a clean solution to this for long…
Is anybody know how to turn-off Autorun/Autoplay when double click on USB drive in Windows Explorer?
but this still invokes autorun if you double click the device from my computer?
i can't believe that you still continue to double click your flash drive the fact that you know it still runs the autoplay. instead of double clickin' your flash disk, why don't you just right click on it then click on explore. basically the same but it won't use the autorun function.

Open Notepad and copy/paste the following into a text file:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionIniFileMappingAutorun.inf]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
Save the file as something.reg. (You have to be sure to change the "Save File as Type" to "All Files" before saving, or Windows will try to save it as a .txt even if you typed in .reg.
#
Locate the file you just saved and double-click the file to run it. You will receive a prompt asking if you want to add the data to the registry. Click yes to allow the modification.
#
The above method nulls any request for autorun.inf and works on XP Home or Pro, as well as Windows Vista. Credit for this tip goes to Nick Brown.

@=”@SYS:DoesNotExist” (Does the quotes go with that?) example at the end (DoesNotExist” <—these). Mine doesn't seem to work. i still get autoplay. And i can't find it nowhere in settings. I'm using XP home edition. I even use the right click options on the drive it's self and i still get autoplay
thanks !! it was helpful..
Thank you really much for the game assessment. I believe I will need to head out to buy it the day after tomorrow!
This method works on CD-ROM or HDDs however I am still haveing problems with external USB Drives
this is really a bestow for me.i can never find words for thanks

The best and the safest way I found is using Autoplay Disabler Pro (http://www.autoplaydisabler.us). It's easy to use, and it really works. No more problems with autorun viruses!
Save the file as something.reg. (You have to be sure to change the "Save File as Type" to "All Files" before saving, or Windows will try to save it as a .txt even if you typed in .reg.
