Open "My Computer", right-click the drive, "Properties", "Auto Play" tab, select each of the content types, check the box, "Select an action to perform", select "Take no action", "Apply" and "OK" when done. Another way is Go to Start > Run > type GPEDIT.MSC > Go to Computer Configuration > in Group Policy window select Administrative Templates > Locate the entry for Turn autoplay off on your right panel > You need to double click on that entry and the default is the Not configured . Set it to Enabled for all devices and click on ok. TweakUI also disable autoplay. After installing TweakUI you need to deselect drive which you want disable as auto play.
