    Default Die Auto Play, Die Die!

    if you dont hear from me after i post this thread it is because i have realized that the only way to kill Autoplay is to destroy its home, my computer.
    im on XP home, i have tried the regedit ways and they dont seem to work, dont know why but i read somewhere that you can kill it with tweak xp i think it was.
    im wondering if i can use this app to kill it and then uninstall it and autoplay remains dead, or will it rise from the ashes and seek revenge on me and reek havok on each and every single external hardrive and disk i plug into my poor little computer.
    save my computer!

    This may work:

    How can you stop Windows XP from launching program CDs?

    * Click Start, click Run, type GPEDIT.MSC to open Group Policy in the Microsoft Management Console.
    * Double-click Computer Configuration, double-click Administrative templates, double-click System, and then click Turnoff autoplay.
    * The instructions on your screen describe how to configure this setting. Click Properties to display the setting dialog.
    * Click Enabled, and choose CD-ROM drives, then click OK, to stop CD autoplay.

    This setting does not prevent Autoplay for music CDs.

    or this


    If you disable "autoplay" via Tweak UI (Tweak UI -> My Computer -> Autoplay -> Drives -> UnCheck Drive Letters), it will disable "autorun".

    Tweak UI places a "Do not AutoRun" entry into the registry for each drive un-selected; however it remains turned on overall (so if you installed a new drive it would be enabled on that by default).

    or reg edit

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Cdrom]
    "AutoRun"=dword:00000000
