I give up! I have turned off everything I can think of in my Win 7 Ultimate Group Policy Editor concerning "Autoplay", but everytime I plug in my external USB drive I still get that damned pop-up window asking me what I want: "Open a folder to view files" or "Use this drive for backup using Windows Backup". I don't want either. I just want to get rid of that damned pop-up!! I have also tried going to Control Panel and making changes there, but no matter what changes I make there, they are deleted immediately when I close the window. When I go back there the box at the top (Use AutoPlay for for all media and devices) is rechecked and all the possibilities are reset to "Chose a Default". Help!!! jetjock
How about disabling autorun completely with a reg file. Code: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoDriveTypeAutoRun"=dword:000000ff or just autoplay with this reg file: Code: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers] "DisableAutoplay"=dword:00000001
Thanks, but not sure if that would work or not. I found an earlier post from someone with a similar question, where someone suggested just removing "NoDriveTypeAutoRun" so I did. That didn't work at all. See the post from Sticky 74 to see what did. I appreciate the interest. jetjock
Np, I integrate it into my Win7 iso's so that autorun doesn't start usb drives, the computers worlds WHORE.
Control panel-autoplay-untick autoplay for all media and devices Very easy and has always worked for me.
