    How can I disable AUTORUN in windows 7

    I have Windows 7 home edition. I desire to put out of action COMPLETLY the autorun characteristic I mean feature. I would akin to make use of the basic "gpedit" tool but it is not obtainable on home edition, it is really bad. I have also attempted the autoplay config in the Control Panel/Hardware and also try this on to the Sound but it does not work. I still observe my USB external drive icon "WD" come into view in My Computer, so it still analysis the autorun. I even distorted the NoDriveTypeAutoRun key in the registry to "ff"but nothing is able to get me out of from this issue. I would like to take control back of my PC.

    Re: How can I disable AUTORUN in windows 7

    Autoplay and Autorun are two dissimilar facial appearances of Windows. Disabling Autoplay from Control Panel and creation I mean to make alteration in to Registry to put NoDriveTypeAutoRun key to FF does not modify the Autorun performance. If windows carry out any task routinely when you attach to the external hard drive then we are able to say that Autoplay is enabled. If not anything happens and only the Icon modifies in windows explorer so at that time Autoplay is out of action, we are not able to stop windows from altering the icon for the reason that the behavior is by design.

    Re: How can I disable AUTORUN in windows 7

    Here I just want to explain you the differences between the Autoplay and in to the Autorun.
    1. AutoPlay: AutoPlay is a Windows characteristic that allows you decide which program to make use of to begin dissimilar kinds of media, like that music CDs, or CDs or DVDs holding photos. For example, the initial time you attempt to play a music CD, AutoPlay inquire which media player you desire to make use of, if you have more than one installed on your computer. You are able to alter AutoPlay settings for each media type.
    2. Autorun: Autorun is a technology which is utilized to create a number of programs or improved content like video content on a music CD routinely when you insert a CD or one more media type into your computer. This is dissimilar from AutoPlay, but the result is frequently the similar kind of: when inserted, the CD starts by design, by means of a particular program. Autorun is included into the media types that make use of it, and you are not able to modify it.When you attempt to play a CD or one more media type that make uses of autorun, AutoPlay inquires you to decide an action to carry out.
