that’s not disabling autorun..
that’s disabling autoplay, which is entirely different.
Autoplay is system-based trigger that activates depending on the contents of the media recently inserted.
Autorun is software-based trigger (through autorun.inf) that resides in the inserted media itself.
What’s important is to disable autorun, not autoplay.
It can be don by importing the following registry entry in windows registry:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@=”@SYS:DoesNotExist”
To do that, copy the above codes in notepad and save it as noautorun.reg
Then right-click on that noautorun.reg file and click Merge.
That’s it! Autorun is disabled. And it’s foolproof. I have cleaned several thumb drives already because my system’s autorun is disabled through that and my antivirus kicks in everytime the thumb-drive (with autorun virus) is inserted in my machine.
