Hello guys and welcome to Openhax4u.com. Today i think to post some thing different So, in this post I will ll tell you how to disable AutoPlay / AutoRun for good at a system-wide level. This trick will definetly work on windows 7 and 8. (I have not tried it in other operating systems.)
Difference Between AutoPlay & AutoRun
Before we go for disabling this feature, let�s quickly take a look at what these two terms mean, and whether there is any difference between the two or not. I am sure that you will understand this easily. Essentially, AutoRun and AutoPlay are both the same, in that AutoPlay is the successor of AutoRun from older versions of Windows like XP, 2000 and earlier version of windows.. When AutoRun was introduced, it basically allowed manufacturers of removable storage media (particularly CD/DVD ROMs) to incorporate an autorun.inf file within the device, which instructed the operating system which application (or executable) to call when you inserted the storage device(Windows Vista onwards), Microsoft made room for more choices with the introduction of AutoPlay, which basically allowed the user to choose what program the AutoRun feature should call once invoked. This also allowed leverage for USB-based storage media, extending the support beyond just optical disks(Pendrive etc). Hence we can say that, both are the same, with AutoPlay being the more advanced of the two.
To disable AutoPlay or AutoRun completely, there are two ways. You can either use the Local Group Policy Editor, if your version of Windows ships with that, or the Registry Editor. We�ll explain both step by step.
So, Lets start it !!!!!
First method Disable AutoRun / AutoPlay Using Local Group Policy Editor:-
Step 1: Open the run Run dialog box (Win + R) and type gpedit.msc. Press Enter to launch the Local Group Policy Editor.
Step 2: Now Within Group Policy Editor, navigate to this location:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > AutoPlay Policies
AutoRun
Step 3: Now you have to Double-click the Turn off Autoplay option to edit its settings, select Enabled, and then select All drives in the options panel below. Hit Apply when done.
Disable-AutoRun
Step 4: Restart your computer.
In this way the AutoRun feature has been completely disabled for all users, and for all drives that connect to your machine. First Method is done.
Second Method : Disable AutoRun / AutoPlay Using Registry Editor
Should you have a version of Windows that doesn�t ship with Local Group Policy Editor, follow these instructions.
Step 1: Open the Run dialog by typing regedit to launch the Registry Editor.
Step 2: Depending on whether you want to disable AutoRun for all users or just for the current one, navigate to either of these registry keys (the first one is for all users):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\
Step 3: Within this subkey, locate the setting labeled �NoDriveTypeAutoRun�. If it doesn�t exist, create a new 32-bit DWORD with this name and assign it the hexadecimal value of 000000FF (Decimal 255).
RegEdit-Disable-AutoRun
Step 4: Now Restart the computer to done.
The DWORD defined above will disable AutoRun for all drives and devices, and will have the same effect that you would�ve gotten through Local Group Policy Editor.
If you want to restore AutoPlay ever again, just reverse the changes that you made in these steps, and you should be good to go.
